Statement from Senate Health Committee Chair Senator Gustavo Rivera on Nurses’ Strike at Montefiore and Mount Sinai Hospitals

 

“I stand firmly in solidarity with over 7,000 NYSNA nurses who went on strike this morning at Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals. Nurses deserve a dignified and fair labor contract, period.  I remind patients seeking care that they should not refrain from doing so, as emergency measures are in place and seeking care is not crossing the picket line. I remain committed to working diligently with all stakeholders to achieve a fair contract for nurses and bring this necessary but unfortunate action to an end.”
