For the first time in decades, doctors are on the picket line in New York City. KristieKNews reports.
More than 150 unionized resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital started a planned five day strike. The last time doctors in New York City went on strike was 33 years ago, according to the New York City Labor Council.
"This is about taking power back from people making decisions based on their bottom lines and not human lives. This is about saying that Elmhurst and Jackson Heights are just as important as the Upper East Side," said Dr. Samkit Jain. "In July, when the new residents come in, they'll be making around $11,000 more than us, so it's a pretty big disparity," Dr. Sarah Harfuth said.
We are committed to working towards an equitable and reasonable resolution that is in the best interest for both our residents at Elmhurst as well as for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and are working closely with partners at Elmhurst Hospital to ensure the same quality and level of care and services that the local community expects and deserves are not affected by the strike.
