The massive nurses strike hitting three major New York City hospital systems hit its fourth day Thursday with no end in sight as both sides increasingly dug in, flinging bitter accusations of bullying, retaliation and sabotage.
The 15,000 nurses with Mount Sinai, Montefiore Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian largely remained on the picket lines, joined by FDNY firefighters and a fresh crop of pols after Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s show of solidarity earlier in the week.
Meanwhile, the private medical centers seemingly kept seeing patients smoothly after executives shelled out an estimated $100 million for temporary nurses in preparation for protracted contract talks, a hospitals insider said.
