It’s a smaller price to pay.
New York State Nurses Association union negotiators asked for smaller, 18% wage increases for nurses on strike at three Mount Sinai hospitals, officials confirmed Friday — as the historic walkout’s second week drew to a close.
The walked-back ask, which is down from the initial 30% over three years, would see nurses’ base wages rise 7% in the first year, 6% the following year and 5% in the third and final year, officials said.
