The nurses’ strike marched into its fifth day after entering negotiations last night with three major New York City hospital systems, which refused to meet contract demands of nurses, for the first time since the strike began on Monday.
The New York State Nurses Association — which represents over 42,000 nurses, 15,000 of which are currently on strike — claimed hospital security initially turned NYSNA members away but eventually allowed 70 members to observe negotiations, which continued past midnight.
