NewYork-Presbyterian nurses have ratified a new three-year contract, ending the largest and longest walkout by nurses in New York City history, the nurses’ union announced on Saturday evening.
The agreement was backed by 93% of the nurses voting, according to the New York State Nurses Association.
The 4,200 nurses in the NewYork-Presbyterian system will begin returning to work next week, the union said.
The NewYork-Presbyterian nurses were the last holdouts in the 41-day strike, which began on Jan. 12 and saw nearly 15,000 nurses at the hospital, along with Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West and Montefiore Medical Center walk off the job and form picket lines on snow-covered sidewalks across the city. Their prior agreements ended Dec. 31.
