  Nurses are demanding higher wages, a stop to benefit cuts, and for more staff to be hired to treat a growing number of patients. 

New York, January 10 (RHC)-- In New York City, over 7,000 nurses went on strike this week after failing to reach a new contract agreement with Mount Sinai Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center.  Nurses are demanding higher wages, a stop to benefit cuts, and for more staff to be hired to treat a growing number of patients. 

The nurses are also denouncing the inhumane treatment of patients, as some have been forced to receive medical care in hospital hallways due to overcrowding.  In a statement, the New York State Nurses Association urged people to continue seeking the care they need, writing: “We appreciate solidarity from our patients — but going into the hospital to get the care you need is NOT crossing our strike line … We are out here so we can provide better patient care to you!”
