New York, January 8 (EFE).- Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City is transferring babies from intensive care units to other hospitals in the area and postponing surgeries due to the possibility of a nurses’ strike on Monday.
For its part, in Montefiore, the possibility is being assessed that this Monday it will be the doctors who will take on the workload of the nurses on strike.
State Governor Kathy Kathy Hochul spoke by phone this Sunday with representatives from the union, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), and Mount Sinai and Montefiore, where they remain, according to NBC New York. some 9,500 nursing contracts unresolved on the eve of Monday’s threatened strike.
However, since these are private hospitals, New York State cannot play a decisive role in these negotiations, but it does have the authority to penalize hospitals that fail to meet New York-regulated staffing requirements.
Five other hospitals, whose nurses had also threatened to join the strike, have reached agreements in recent days. EFE extension
