Hundreds of New York City nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center rallied outside of Gov. Kathy Hochul's Manhattan office on Monday.
NYSNA, the nurse’s union, is calling on the governor to stand with them as they fight for higher wages and better safety conditions inside city hospitals.
As the strike now enters its fourth week,
nurses at Montefiore have lost their health insurance. Workers are now paying over $1,000 a month for health insurance — even more for families.
Picketers also braved the cold Sunday at the Montefiore Einstein campus in Morris Park.
Montefiore warned nurses last week that if they did not return to work by Feb. 1, they would forfeit their health insurance coverage.
Sunday marked that deadline, and nurses on the line said they have no intention of returning until their demands are met.
News 12 will have more later tonight.
