The New York State Nurses Association announced that negotiations have resumed with Mount Sinai hospitals. After lengthy talks with NewYork-Presbyterian, both sides acknowledged minimal progress towards a resolution. The hospital maintained that they are committed to staffing safety but regard some union proposals as unreasonable. Meanwhile, Montefiore hospitals have not restarted discussions with the union.
