Public hospital nurses rally outside Harlem Hospital and demand pay equity and more staffing

Public hospital nurses rallied outside of Harlem Hospital on Tuesday demanding higher pay, on par with private-sector nurses, and better staffing levels across New York City’s municipal hospitals.

The nurses, who were joined by elected officials and community allies, shared their experiences at the annual Board of Directors meeting for New York City’s Health+Hospitals System, the country’s largest public healthcare system.
