As of 0400, strike negotiations which are past the midnight deadline have failed. In less than 2 hours Montefiore and Mt Sinai nurses will lead a historic NYC strike of thousands of RN’s! 0600 UPDATE: STRIKE HAS BEGUN, HERE ARE THE STRIKE LINE LOCATIONS <a rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener" href="https://i.imgur.com/kzgpVab.jpg" target="_blank">https://i.imgur.com/kzgpVab.jpg</a> ___ Original Post: 3700 nurses x $300 (scab) strike nurse hourly pay x 24 hours is nearly 27 million dollars per day Mt Sinai’s contract is asking for $51 million over 3 years. They refuse to agree to the same NYSNA contract as ratified by 8 other hospitals in the last week, 4 of which was in the last 24 hours. Similar numbers for Montefiore. Mainly, these hospitals fail to agree to the language of enforced safe staffing for patient protection. THIS IS WHAT WE CARE ABOUT THE MOST. Both hospitals have staff shortages between 500-700. They also refuse to ratify a 7%/6%/5% pay raise over 3 years despite what we went through with COVID-19 Hospital management about to truly feel the definition of “fuck around and find out”
