NYSNA鈥檚 decision to forge ahead with a vote at NewYork-Presbyterian infuriated members who said they stood by their executive committee鈥檚 assertion that the deal did not meet their needs. NYSNA has executive committees at each of its hospitals; those committees are made up of union members who participate in contract negotiations.

(This sort of injustice may cause unrest?)

CEOs at these hospitals make about 120 times more than the average nurse, with salaries up to $26 million a year. That鈥檚 about $70,000 a day, or more than most New Yorkers make in an entire year.

Labor Notes

Iowa Nurses Join Teamsters in Hard-Fought Election Win

In a hospital, there is always another patient waiting. As soon as one bed empties, another is filled. At UnityPoint in Des Moines, nurses were expected to keep that system running no matter the cost to our patients, to our licenses, or to ourselves. By 2024 our hospital systems were routinely over capacity, patient wait times were astronomical, and staffing was dangerously thin. Nurses were expected to do more with less, while executives continued to reward themselves. That pressure pushed UnityPoint nurses to do something unprecedented: organize ourselves and become Teamsters.
