Negotiators for major New York City hospital systems and the state nurses union will return to the bargaining table Friday as the city’s largest nurses strike<\/a> enters its fifth day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Montefiore and Mount Sinai Health are expected to hold bargaining sessions with the New York State Nurses Association for the first time since the strike started<\/a>, but NewYork-Presbyterian is not expected to meet today.<\/p>\n

A late-night bargaining session\u00a0<\/p>\n

NYSNA and NewYork-Presbyterian met with a mediator for hours last night<\/a>, marking the very first round of negotiations since roughly 15,000 nurses<\/a> started picketing Monday, but they failed to make enough progress to reach a deal.<\/p>\n

The hospital said the late-night discussions focused on staffing<\/a> and that NYSNA’s proposals remain unreasonable, adding future meetings will be scheduled through a mediator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
