A young cancer patient and his family worry nearly a month into New York City nurses’ strike
A young cancer patient at one of the remaining New York City hospitals where nurses are on strike says he misses his regular caregivers. Logan Coyle is a 9-year-old boy battling advanced liver cancer at NewYork-Presbyterian’s children’s hospital in Manhattan. Two other major hospital systems reached tentative deals to end the strike on Monday. Those proposals, if approved by union members, would see nurses return to work by Saturday. Negotiations at NewYork Presbyterian have progressed slower. The hospital says it has agreed to a proposal from mediators that includes many things the union has sought. But the union says there are no plans yet for negotiations to resume.
