New Rochelle nurses vow strike as COVID surges

Nurses at a Westchester hospital put management on notice Thursday that they’ll strike in 10 days unless they can agree on a contract guaranteeing safer conditions and better stock of protective gear. The 10-day strike notice, which was delivered Thursday morning at Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital, comes as COVID cases continue to surge nationwide, leading hospital staff to worry about the winter months ahead.
