Nearly 15,000 nurses in New York went on strike, the largest of its kind in the city's history.[1][2][3] The strike involves Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals, where nurses are demanding better staffing, the preservation of health benefits and protection from workplace violence.[1] The strike has lasted nearly a month and is affecting patients, including 9-year-old Logan Coyle, an oncology patient at NewYork-Presbyterian's pediatric cancer ward.[5] Hospitals remain open and provide care using temporary agency nurses.[1] Nurses at Montefiore, Mount Sinai, and two other Mount Sinai centers ratified an agreement that included pay increases and modest staffing improvements, ending the strike at those locations.[5] However, more than 4,000 nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian rejected the agreement and the strike continues there.[5]
