NYC hospitals start moving sick babies, diverting ambulances as nurses strike looms. MelissaRusso4NY has more
Nurses have said that there has been some progress at some bargaining tables where hospitals are negotiating with their respective staffs, but not enough progress to avoid a strike — yet.
Each of the hospitals negotiates individually with their own nurses, so depending on how talks go, there could be no strikes at all, a single strike or as many as seven strikes.The nurses union said there has been at least one sign of progress: All of the hospitals on the list except for Flushing Hospital have agreed to not cut health benefits.As of Wednesday, all eyes are on New York-Presbyterian Hospital and the nurses there.
Smaller so-called"safety net" hospitals are more reliant on lower reimbursement rates for the care they provide, like through Medicare or Medicaid. Some of the others on the list say they are hemorrhaging money, but nurses at those hospitals aren't buying the argument. New York-Presbyterian has a tentative agreement with nurses to avoid a strike, but there are 7 other hospitals who are not in the same situation. NBC New York's Melissa Russo reports.
The New York State Nurses Association has as many as 12,000 members threatening to conduct strikes at seven respective hospitals where contracts expired on Dec. 31.
