Thousands of nurses at major New York City hospitals could stage a strike Monday, with nearly 15,000 union members authorized to walk out at Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian if negotiations fail. The union cites staffing, safety and new demands for AI-use guardrails amid a severe flu season; hospitals say they have added staff and have contingency plans.
