Doctors Strike at Elmhurst Hospital in NYC Over Pay Inequality and Pandemic Treatment Disparities
TL;DR
Over 150 unionized resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital in New York City have gone on a planned five-day strike, demanding pay equal to their non-union colleagues at Mount Sinai Hospital. The doctors, who are part of the committee of interns and residents union, say their non-union counterparts at Mount Sinai's Upper East Side campus make $7,000 more than them annually. Mount Sinai has responded by offering a 19.1% compounded increase in pay across three years and is committed to finding a mutually acceptable solution as soon as possible.
