Headlines in Healthcare
NYC Nurses’ Strike Enters Second Week as Contract Talks Stall
The largest nurses strike in New York City history has stretched into a second week, with more than 15,000 nurses walking off the job over pay, staffing levels, and health benefits. While union members say they are prepared for a prolonged fight, hospital leaders argue the union’s demands are unrealistic, and mediation efforts have stalled with no new bargaining sessions scheduled.

The dispute centers on staffing shortages, wages, and unresolved contract negotiations, making it one of the largest potential healthcare labor actions of the year if talks fail.
