Montefiore nurses on strike accuse management of Bronx disinvestment, corporate greed

On the third day of the nurses’ strike, Montefiore nurses, elected officials and community supporters held another rally, accusing hospital management of greed and investing less in Bronx patients compared to those in Westchester County. 

Nearly 15,000 members of the New York State Nurses’ Association (NYSNA) from prominent New York City private hospitals — Montefiore, New York-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai — walked off the job on Monday.
