3. SOUNDBITE (English) Tristan Castillo, emergency nurse, Mt. Sinai West:
"It feels like a slap in the face. I mean, nurses here during 2020, like we worked the floors and we sat by our patients while management was not around to be seen. And now it's how they're treating us. They don't wanna give us a fair contract and they don't want to give us safe staffing and now they're trying to roll back on our benefits."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Denash Forbes, nurse, Mt. Sinai West:
++PARTIALLY COVERED ++
"How can we as nurses be inside taking care of patients when we don't have health care? We need to have good health care so we stay strong so we can go in there day after day. Nursing is a 24-7 job. We don't get a break. We're there to take care of these patients and that's what we're going to do, but we need the health care to do that."

STORYLINE:
Thousands of nurses at several major New York City hospitals have gone on strike.
The strike began Monday morning after negotiations through the weekend failed to yield a breakthrough. The affected hospitals include NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore and Mount Sinai.
The union says about 15,000 nurses are participating in the strike. Among the nurses’ demands are manageable workloads and more workplace security. Hospitals say the union’s demands are too costly.
