While hospitals are happy to spend $100M+ on travel nurses - they refuse to give NYC nurses a fair contract, safe staffing AND the respect they deserve.
We stand with our labor allies - and could not agree more with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social. #SafeStaffingSavesLives

These 3 labor & delivery nurses bring life into the world every day.
Mount Sinai fired them hours before the current nurses strike. No investigation, no due process, just retaliation.
This is how hospital execs treat the people who deliver your children.

Montefiore: $16 million
Mount Sinai: $10 million
NYC-Presbyterian: $26 million
Now they're on TV lying about nurses wanting "40% raises" and "protecting drunk workers."

As a parent, UFT VP of Elementary Schools Karen Alford knows that the price of childcare in NYC is prohibitive for working families.
Parents need our leaders in Albany to make universal childcare a reality - so we can all afford to raise our families in NY.
