When the weather gets cold, we turn up the heat on the picket line! Last night, we saw little progress at negotiations at NewYork-Presbyterian. Nurses put forward a revised set of proposals that hospital executives rejected without offering a counter proposal.

Today at Mount Sinai Morningside, nurses gave harrowing testimony about the violent conditions they experience at work—often exacerbated by unsafe staffing levels. If safety-net hospitals can deliver fair contracts, so can Montefiore Health System, Mount Sinai NYC, and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Powerful message from Nataki Jarrett, RN at Mount Sinai West. "To every nurse standing here today: Your voice matters. Your courage and your story matter. We became nurses because we care."

One day longer, one day stronger! Management can paint nurses as villains all they want, but everyone knows who the real heroes are! It's time for management to put patients over profits and negotiate fair contracts now! #NYCNurseStrike

These nurses were fired by Mount Sinai because they were ready to join the strike line. Union busting won't silence us. Nurses are strong. Nurses are united! Join us on the strike line in solidarity!

Montefiore says "Doing Better," but how can they do better when patients are stuck in an overcrowded ED and management attempts to roll back staffing standards won in 2023? Make it make sense, Montefiore.

Day 2 of #NYCNurseStrike and the collective energy and nurse power continues! From Mount Sinai West all the way up to Montefiore Bronx, nurses chanted and danced through the picket line demanding a fair contract. We're back tomorrow at 7am! #PatientsOverProfits

Nurses are out in force on Day 2 of the #NYCNurseStrike shout out to all the nurses on this picket line early morning! #WhenWeFightWeWin

Day 1 of #NYCNurseStrike! Thousands of nurses walked the picket line in the largest nurses strike in NYC history. Thank you to everyone who joined us to demand fair contracts with the safe staffing, healthcare benefits, and real workplace protections for nurses and patients.

Our strike begins today! Show your support for nurses fighting for safe staffing, healthcare benefits and a fair contract! #NYCNurseStrike #SafeStaffingSavesLives #PatientsOverProfits

Nearly 15,000 NYSNA nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are on strike today because greedy hospital management have given frontline nurses no other choice.

Mount Sinai nurses spoke to DocumentedNY to share their experience facing workplace violence and retaliation after speaking out for workplace safety. Nurses don't want to strike, but we're ready to do whatever it takes to win a fair contract. documentedny.com/2026/01/08/w...

Patient safety is nurses' #1 concern. It’s irresponsible for hospitals to force nurses on strike and rely on inadequate contingency plans to care for patients. We don't want replacement nurses here, we want a fair contract now!

When we fight, we win! Yesterday, NYSNA nurses at The Brooklyn Hospital Center and Wyckoff Heights Medical Center have reached full tentative agreements.

Nurses are showing up in force. 💪 Earlier today, NYSNA nurses from the wealthiest private sector hospitals held an emergency solidarity action outside the League of Voluntary Hospitals to demand that the city's richest hospitals protect patient and nurse safety.

Union Strong! NYSNA nurses are receiving widespread support from 45 labor unions, representing over 2.5M workers! Check out the latest open letter supporting union nurses.

Billion-dollar hospitals shouldn’t cut corners on care. They must invest in nurses and patients– not untested AI. Thank you @sengonzalezny.bsky.social for penning this Crain's op-ed in support of Mount Sinai nurses! www.crainsnewyork.com/op-ed/op-ed-...

Nurses at Flushing Medical Center and The Brooklyn Hospital Center have made progress during bargaining! Currently, nearly 16k nurses at 5 New York City hospitals and nearly 1k nurses at 3 Long Island hospitals are still set to strike on Jan 12 – in just 5 days.

BREAKING​: NYSNA nurses at 5 safety-net hospitals in Brooklyn and Staten Island made major progress towards settling fair contracts! More than 16,700 nurses at 7 private sector hospitals are still planning to strike beginning Jan. 12, unless they can reach fair contracts first.

Nurses care for New York and risk their health to do so. Taking away nurses' healthcare benefits puts nurses', their families' and patients' health at risk. Nurses like Christine urge hospital executives at NewYork-Presbyterian to continue nurses' healthcare and negotiate a fair contract now!

ICYMI: On Jan. 2, NYSNA nurses from 12 private sector hospitals delivered their 10-day strike notice! Nurses don't want to strike on Jan. 12 but are ready to do whatever it takes to protect patient and nurse safety. #FairContractNow #NursesCareforNY

Shoutout to the NYC private nurses who delivered strike notices to management today! Nurses don't want to strike, but are ready if management refuses to negotiate a fair contract that protects patient care.

BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

Contracts at 12 private sector hospitals in NYC expired at midnight last night. All 12 hospitals have yet to negotiate fair contracts. Stay tuned.

Happy New Year! Thank you NYSNA nurses and healthcare professionals for all your courage and strength this past year. We look forward to more victories for nurses, patients and our community in 2026!

Nurses experience some of the highest rates of workplace violence while on the frontlines. However, NYC hospitals are refusing to agree to new rates or continue existing healthcare benefits. newyork.news12.com/looming-nurses-strike-would-impact-4-brooklyn-hospitals

NYSNA nurses from Plainview and Syosset hospitals delivered a "Dear CEO" letter to management! The letter calls on Northwell Health CEO and President Dr. John D'Angelo help get contract negotiations back on track, and to take action in defense of safe patient care on Long Island.

New York City healthcare executives continue to reap millions of dollars in salaries, perks and bonuses every year, while claiming they can't afford to safely staff hospitals. Imagine if our bosses just took a fraction of that to protect care for our patients? Learn more at nychospitalgreed.com

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation to protect nurses & healthcare workers from violence on the job. Nurses look to working with hospitals to implement these much needed workplace violence prevention programs. nysna.org/press/nysna-nurses-applaud-passage-hospital-workplace-violence-prevention-bill

On this first night of Hanukkah, a time to celebrate light and hope, our hearts go to our Jewish members and communities shaken by the tragedy in Sydney. We must condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate that threaten our communities.

Approx. 20k NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals have contracts expiring on 12/ 31. Management continue to resist when it comes to safe staffing, workplace violence prevention, & maintaining quality health benefits. That’s why nurses have begun strike authorization votes.

Earlier this week, Antonio Reynoso joined NYSNA nurses at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center for a tour of the hospital! Nurses were excited to share the latest contract updates and have his continued support in this fight! #FairContractNow #SafeStaffingSavesLives

Today, @nynurses on Long Island are speaking out in defense of quality patient care! While @NorthwellHealth is busy prioritizing patients over profits, nurses are fighting for a #FairContractNow that will help deliver quality care to their communities! #NorthwellNursesUnited

Nurses love caring for our patients and our community, but we shouldn't be martyrs. Listen to Lisa Yeno, RN of Richmond University Medical Center testify in front of NYC Council on what hospitals must do to care for nurses.
