Nurses at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in Lower Manhattan won a battle for better wages and other benefits, their union announced Tuesday.
Nurses held an informational picket in the East Village on June 4, 2024, calling on the hospital to settle a fair contract and stay open for care.Nurses at Mount Sinai’s New York Eye and Ear Infirmary based in Lower Manhattan won a long-fought battle for better wages and other benefits, the New York State Nurses Association announced on Tuesday.
The group ratified the new contract with a 100% vote in support of the deal. The three-year contract puts the nurses on the “path to pay parity” with other Mount Sinai nurses in the city. Their wage increase will follow the pattern set in January 2023 by other NYSNA NYC private-sector nurses, which features annual increases of 7, 6 and 5% each year of the contract.
“This contract is a pathway to continued quality care at Eye and Ear,” local bargaining unit president and Mount Sinai Eye and Ear nurse John Paul Montemayor, RN, said. “Getting closer to pay parity with other Mount Sinai facilities will help us retain nurses, and the improved layoff language will give nurses security as we stay and fight for the future of the specialty care we provide to the downtown community and beyond.
“Nurses and our patients deserve fairness, dignity, and respect,” said Maria Teresa Moriarty, RN, a 17-year veteran nurse at Mount Sinai Eye and Ear. “This contract is a start to rebuilding the family and community atmosphere at this hospital. It will help deliver safe staffing and the quality specialty care our patients have relied on for over a century and must continue to be available.”
