Nearly 15,000 NYC nurses are fighting for a fair contract to protect patient care.
Shame on NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals for being willing to spend millions on replacement nurses rather than bargain for a fair contract.
Shame on NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals for being willing to spend millions on replacement nurses rather than bargain for a fair contract.
Patient safety is nurses' #1 concern.
It’s irresponsible for hospitals to force nurses on strike and rely on inadequate contingency plans to care for patients.
We don't want replacement nurses here, we want a fair contract now!

We're entering a geopolitical world that divides green energy countries and oil countries that go to war to control access to oil
Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
