Public hospital residents in New York City, who provide essential healthcare to low-income, immigrant, and underserved communities, have reached a new contract agreement that ensures pay parity with their private hospital counterparts. The agreement, announced by NYC Mayor, will benefit 2,300 medical interns and residents within the NYC Health System, providing them with the pay and benefits they deserve. Meanwhile, nurses at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, have also reached a tentative agreement with the Health Professionals and Allied Employees Union Local 5118. This follows a vote to authorize a strike if an agreement was not reached before their contract expired. The top priority for these nurses was achieving a better nurse-to-patient ratio.
