Nurses at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx and Mount Sinai in Manhattan will return to work on Thursday after reaching tentative deals, union leaders said.
Nurses have remained on the picket lines this week at Mount Sinai Hospital and Montefiore Medical Center, which have been less full but still tumultuous as they operate with skeletal staffs.
Public sympathy for striking nurses and other health workers is particularly strong, posing a challenge for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who has promised to confront trade unions.
