HeadlineFeb 10, 2026

Here in New York, more than 10,000 nurses who’ve been on strike since January 12 have reached tentative deals on new contracts with hospitals run by Mount Sinai and Montefiore. The New York State Nurses Association is recommending members ratify the agreements, which include salary increases of 12% over three years, improvements to staffing levels, improved workplace safety and guardrails on the use of artificial intelligence. About 5,000 nurses remain on strike at NewYork-Presbyterian hospitals while negotiations continue.
