NYC nursing walkout ends as last striking nurses approve new contract

Nurses at a big New York hospital system approved a new contract Saturday, voting to end a major nursing strike after more than a month. More than 4,000 nurses in the privately run NewYork-Presbyterian system went on strike Jan. 12. The union, called the New York State Nurses Association, said 93% of its members at NewYork-Presbyterian voted to ratify the three-year contract.
