February 10, 2026- Nurses and two major hospital systems in New York City, Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospital systems, have reached a deal to end a nearly monthlong strike over staffing levels, workplace safety, health insurance and other issues. The tentative agreement was reached late Sunday and announced early Monday, according to the New York State Nurses Association and NBC New York.
The strike began on January 12, prompting hospitals to hire temporary nurses to keep up with a demanding flu season. The nurses union, according to AP News, said nurses at Montefiore and Mount Sinai hospitals will vote to ratify their contracts starting this week, and if the tentative deals are ratified, nurses will return to work this Saturday, February 14. Nurses remain on strike at NewYork-Presbyterian.
