Over 20,000 New York nurses threaten a January 12 strike over staffing, safety, and contract disputes.
Over 20,000 nurses across New York City and Long Island, represented by the New York State Nurses Association, have issued 10-day strike notices, threatening a walkout on January 12 if a new contract is not reached.
The strike, potentially the largest in the city’s history, stems from expired contracts and unresolved disputes over safe staffing levels, healthcare benefits, and workplace safety.
Nurses cite rising violence in emergency and psychiatric units and demand enhanced security measures.
Hospitals, including Mount Sinai, NewYork-Presbyterian, and Northwell Health, say they are negotiating in good faith but warn the strike could disrupt care and strain resources amid financial pressures.
Federal law requires the 10-day notice period, allowing time for further talks before any potential strike.
