Relevance Score
Nearly 15,000 New York City nurses struck in the largest, longest nurse strike in city history, negotiating through fall 2023 and returning on Valentine’s Day 2024. They secured enforceable safe-staffing standards, preserved health benefits, won wage increases, nearly fifty new hires, and protections against workplace violence and AI. The outcomes include arbitration awards and strengthened contract enforcement for patient safety and union leverage.
