Hospital sources tell News 4 that the nurses union has notified management at eight hospitals of their intention to strike in 10 days, starting Jan. 9.
Nurses at a number of New York City's private hospitals are set to go on strike next month, a move that could turn the current"tridemic" into a full-blown crisis.
The move follows a ballot box vote to authorize a strike ahead of their contracts expiring on Dec. 31. Although negotiating is expected to be ongoing, discussions were scheduled to wrap Friday around 5 p.m. and the union said a more comprehensive report would come Saturday. Contracts expire at midnight.
Nurses at eight hospitals, NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore, Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Maimonides, BronxCare, Richmond University Medical Center and Flushing Hospital Medical Center, gave strike notices to management on Friday.The New York State Nurses Association has at least 16,000 members between the striking hospital staffs ready to strike.
Previously, Mt. Sinai Hospital said that while negotiations"may be noisy and bumpy at times," they are"committed to negotiating in good faith at all times to ensure fairness and fiscal responsibility" and they are"confident" an agreement will be reached.
