Solidarity with the residents beginning their 10-day strike at Mt. Sinai West & Morningside.

After working grueling shifts during the pandemic, @cirseiu simply asked for equal compensation.

Instead, they received a contract inferior to other residents employed by Mt. Sinai.

[Queens DSA 🌹🏳️‍🌈 @QueensDSA]

On Tuesday, about 500 @mountsinainyc @cirseiu physicians might be the second group of doctors who work for Mount Sinai to strike in a month. When will Sinai get the message that when union workers are under attack, all of NYC will fight back? #NYCDocsStrike

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Residents nationwide are fed up with corporate health care, union busting & sacrificing our own needs again and again to complete our medical training.

A second group of ~500 @mountsinainyc docs are ready to start our ULP strike TMO AM–because we have no choice #NYCDocsStrike

[claudia irizarry aponte @clauirizarry]

NYC could see another doctors’ strike this week: ~500 resident physicians at Mount Sinai Morningside & West will strike tomorrow unless the hospital reaches a deal with @cirseiu that incl pay parity w/ their non-union flagship UES campus. Background here: https://t.co/fbqiBpG6aV

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

A huge victory! We fought hard rallied with our community, went up against an $11 billion a year corporate health behemoth— and we WON. Because we stood united and we knew that we're on the right side fighting to build a more just & equitable society.

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

The @MountSinaiNYC residents at Elmhurst are not being paid while we are on strike!

Donate to our strike fund so we can support our families while fighting for parity and world class care for Queens.

Remarkable scene at Elmhurst Hosp today: as 150 docs in Queens walked out of the job in a NYC hospital for the 1st time in a generation, 500 doctors at another hosp in Manhattan also announced their intent to strike if a contract deal is not reached. More: https://t.co/ncfKUGolqI

[Anna Heffron, MD, PhD @glass_heff_full]

Support and strength to our brave Elmhurst colleagues!!

To support the strike:
1. The residents are picketing at various locations! You can join them, even if you’re not a resident!

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Residents are on STRIKE— because of @mountsinainyc’s continued refusal to support this community.

No more second class treatment. @mountsinainyc, end this strike with the fair contract we and our patients deserve.

Resident doctors are officially on strike at Elmhurst Hosp, the first doctors’ strike in NYC in a generation.

Key to the union’s @cirseiu demands is pay parity w other, non-union docs at Mount Sinai, which runs their residency program. Background here: https://t.co/tzfDH1VNiF

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Resident physicians at Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals just voted to authorize a strike, with 93% of voters voting yes, if MediSys fails to bargain in good faith and agree to our demands around a living wage, benefits, and patient care. #QueensStrikeReady https://t.co/AuG6fIvWRP

SAEM and AWAEM Statement on SCOTUS Decision Re: Roe v Wade: We are deeply concerned about the impact of restrictions on reproductive rights on patient safety, & on our ability to provide the best care for our patients.

[SAEM @SAEMonline]

As emergency physicians, we stand in support of access to the full spectrum of comprehensive reproductive health care, including access to safe and legal abortion. We stand with patients who deserve equitable access to safe, high quality reproductive care: https://t.co/Nf07N5EwDW

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

This decision carries grave consequences for our adolescent patients, who already face many more barriers than adults in accessing comprehensive reproductive healthcare services and abortion care. 2/3

[ACOG @acog]

The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson is a destructive setback for ob-gyns and patients. However, we’ll continue with unwavering resolve to support all people who struggle against interference with the patient–physician relationship.

[ACEP Members @ACEPNation]

As the Supreme Court overturns precedent established by Roe v. Wade, ACEP is deeply concerned about the medical and legal implications of judicial overreach into the practice of medicine.
