Nurses on strike! Largest walkout in NYC history begins

Thousands of nurses across New York City are on strike this Monday morning in what officials are calling the largest nurses' strike in city history.

I looked briefly at the video, one was holding a sign saying 'Stop spying on nurses'

What is the overall reason for the walk out?

Key points: management’s threats to cut healthcare benefits for the frontline nurses, management’s attempt to roll back safe staffing standards that nurses won three years ago, and management’s refusal to agree to protections from workplace violence.

Montefiore seems to be the "spying" issue:

...management has responded with retaliation, intimidation, and stalling, and flaunted the more than $100 million they’ve collectively spent on temporary replacement nurses. Mt Sinai disciplined and attempted to silence nurses who spoke out on workplace safety. NY-Presbyterian has threatened job loss for striking. Montefiore has surveilled union nurses, in attempts to intimidate them. All three hospitals have withheld information on their excessive use of traveler nurses.

2024, NY-Presbyterian CEO Steve Corwin raked in $26.3 million in total compensation-$2.1 million a month!
