0:57Now PlayingMore than 7,000 nurses from two New York City hospitals went on strike after negotiations for better pay and staffing failed.

More than 7,000 nurses at two major New York City hospitals walked out Monday morning after talks to avert a strike failed overnight. In a dispute over pay and chronic understaffing, the New York State Nurses Association said more than 3,500 nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and about 3,600 at Mount Sinai Hospital on the Upper East Side in Manhattan would go on strike.
The walkout began at 6 a.m. EST after a weekend of negotiations and no new contract in time for the strike start date. Representatives from both hospitals were back at the bargaining table Monday.
“Nurses don't want to strike. Bosses have pushed us to strike by refusing to seriously consider our proposals to address the desperate crisis of unsafe staffing that harms our patients,” the union said in a statement late Sunday.
