The nurses reached agreements with the two hospitals — Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan and Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx — to improve patient-to-staffing ratios, the New York State Nurses Association, which represents more than 42,000 members, said. For nurses at Montefiore, the tentative deal would include a 19.1 percent wage increase over three years, and the creation of more than 170 new nursing positions, the hospital said.
“Through our unity and by putting it all on the line, we won enforceable safe staffing ratios at both Montefiore and Mount Sinai where nurses went on strike for patient care,” said Nancy Hagans, the president of the union, in a statement. “Today, we can return to work with our heads held high, knowing that our victory means safer care for our patients and more sustainable jobs for our profession.”
