Some striking NY nurses reach deal with employers

On strike since January 12, the 10,500 nurses at New York's Montefiore and Mount Sinai private hospital groups will vote on ratifying the deal and return to work this week, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) said in a statement. As well as pay increases, the new deal contains protections against the use of AI in the workplace, as well as for trans and immigrant nurses and patients. Some 4,200 nurses on strike at New York-Presbyterian are not covered by the deal and will stay on the picket line.
