Glad Montefiore and Mount Sinai nurses are nearing fair contracts and hope Presbyterian is next. But this strike dragged on because the gov let hospitals hire scabs to please her donors. Hospital CEOs spent $100M doing it while refusing fair pay for @nynurses.bsky.social. The math ain’t mathing.

A screenshot of an article from The City titled "Nurses' Union, Mount Sinai and Montefiore Reach Tentative Agreement to End Strike." An excerpt is highlighted: "Montefiore, Mount Sinai and NewYork-Presbyterian have jointly spent approximately $100 million to pay temporary nurses for the duration of the strike, the Greater New York Hospital Association, a trade group, has said. Meanwhile, striking nurses scrambled to make ends meet, with some collecting unemployment checks and applying for COBRA."

Buffalo - For nearly a week, immigration agents have targeted a block on the city’s West Side, seeking to detain an Iranian man living there. His neighbors aren’t having it. Dozens have organized themselves into rotating shifts to do "ICE watch" @indiab.bsky.social

ICE targets Iranian man living legally in Buffalo

ICE is apparently targeting an Iranian family in Buffalo who is in the United States legally. Neighbors have rallied to his defense.
