[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to circle back for all the people who said the nurses wouldn’t get anything.

Low quality journalism, but some hints of factual info:

The contract provides raises for nurses of about 12 percent over three years, just as the nurses at the other striking hospitals received. It also offers provides some protections against layoffs and, according to the union, for the first time includes safeguards regarding artificial intelligence.

In recent years, the union has won guarantees for minimum staffing levels — and the ability to enforce them. Across the city, the nurses’ union has received millions of dollars in awards for nurses who worked in chronically understaffed units.

In negotiations between the nurses' union and the hospitals, the union wanted to make it easier to bring such cases to arbitrators, while the hospitals wanted to roll back those protections.

In the end, the union said, the nurses won improved staffing standards.
