Nurses at two of 's largest hospitals went on strike Monday in a dispute over pay and staffing levels after a weekend of negotiations did not produce a deal for a new contract.
The walkout involves as many as 3,500 nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and 3,600 at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. Patients are likely to see disruptions in care such as emergency room visits and childbirth. The walkout formally began at 6am on Monday.
The New York State Nurses Association, which represents the workers, said the group was being forced into the drastic step because of chronic understaffing that leaves them caring for too many patients at a time.
