Nearly 15,000 nurses have united to strike at several major hospitals in New York City, marking the largest nursing strike in the city’s history. As the walkout enters its fourth day, nurses are preparing for an extended struggle, with negotiations set to resume. The strike was initiated due to unresolved contract disputes, with accusations from hospital management alleging that the union is protecting employees with substance abuse issues. Striking nurses have voiced concerns over corporate greed and disinvestment in healthcare, particularly highlighting issues at specific hospital systems. Lawmakers and supporting unions have expressed their solidarity, emphasizing the impact on patient care and safety as the shortages of staff grow amidst the ongoing industrial action.
