"Nearly 15,000 nurses in NYC are officially on strike after walking off the job due to failed contract talks on Monday morning. It marks the largest nurses' strike in NYC history. Hospitals affected by the strike include Mount Sinai locations, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian. Nurses from Mount Sinai began picketing outside their hospitals at 6 a.m. on Jan. 12, followed immediately by nurses from the other medical centers at 7 a.m. the same day."
"Unfortunately, we have made very little progress at the bargaining table, said Nancy Hagans, RN, president of the New York State Nurses Association, the union representing the striking nurses. Once again, our bosses made very little effort to meet and bargain. Braving below-freezing temperatures, the striking nurses, along with supporters, made their demands clear on Monday morning. Wielding signs that read messages like Listen to the Nurses and Ask for a Real Nurse,"
Nearly 15,000 nurses in New York City walked off the job on Jan. 12, 2026, in the city's largest nurses' strike. The work stoppage affects Mount Sinai locations, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian. Mount Sinai nurses began picketing at 6 a.m., followed by other centers at 7 a.m. Union leaders said bargaining made very little progress and accused hospital management of failing to negotiate. Nurses and supporters braved freezing temperatures holding signs reading Listen to the Nurses and Ask for a Real Nurse. Strike talks began last year at 12 private hospitals over staffing, working conditions, and wages; several hospitals reached agreements, but three held out. Governor Kathy Hochul urged protecting patients while seeking a deal that recognizes nurses' essential work.
