What happened
The New York State Nurses Association and NYC Health + Hospitals signed a new collective bargaining agreement on October 23, 2026. Separately, reports detail a dispute where a union leader was suspended by management after informing nurses of their rights and discussing union priorities. This union leader argued that 'rounding' is official union business under the agreement.
