University of Michigan researchers conducted a survey of more than 10,000 nurses across the state showing that understaffing, mandatory overtime and emotional exhaustion were driving nurses to leave.
Nurses around the city denounced the shutdown of the powerful strike by the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) and the agreement, which does nothing to seriously address understaffing.

The MNA-UMPNC is attempting to force a sellout contract onto 6,200 Michigan Medicine nurses who had previously voted by an overwhelming majority for strike action to win their demands.
