In New York City, approximately 20,000 nurses at 12 private-sector hospitals are demanding fair contracts that help protect patient care for all New Yorkers. Nearly three years ago, this same group of New York City nurses—from all five boroughs, working in academic medical centers and safety-net hospitals—united for safe staffing and fair contracts. Together we won historic improvements that helped hospitals recruit and retain thousands more nurses to improve patient care. We ensured that as hospitals continued to recover financially from the COVID-19 pandemic, they invested in patient care, not just executive pay.  

Now that progress is at risk. Some of New York City’s richest hospitals are already using federal Medicaid cuts as an excuse to slash services and layoff nurses. Nurses, labor and community allies are fighting back to demand hospitals put patients over profits.  

Join our campaign to protect the staff and services that all patients need and deserve.
