May 28, 2026 Luis Martinez and G. V. Bourgeois, People's World. Resistance Report Michigan, Nurses, Profiteers, Strike

Grand Blanc, Mich.igan—Anyone driving down Holly Rd. would be hard-pressed to miss the entrance to the newly acquired Henry Ford Hospital. In the eight months since Labor Day, local nurses have picketed outside with signs that read, “patient care over profits” and “it’s health care, not wealth care.” This area is no stranger to collective bargaining; Detroit, the birthplace of the United Auto Workers (UAW), is a mere hour’s drive from where these nurses are carrying out one of the longest strikes in Michigan history. Organizers for Local 332 proudly channel that history as they stand against the second-largest health system in Michigan.

After the House of Representatives passed bills to send $10 billion in funding to the Department of Homeland Security in January, the nation’s largest union of registered nurses published a demand that Congress abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “Nurses demand the removal of immigration enforcement agents from communities, the abolition of ICE, and accountability for this administration’s crimes against all residents of the United States,” read the January 23 statement from National Nurses United (NNU), which represents over 225,000 registered nurses nationwide.

Patients Before Profits: 10,000 Teamsters Nurses Authorize Strike

Detroit—After 16 months of contract negotiations and what workers describe as continued bad-faith tactics by Corewell Health, nearly 10,000 registered nurses (RN) have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike. The nurses, members of Teamsters Local 2024, announced on Tuesday that nearly 90% of voting members supported the strike authorization. They hope to send a clear message to the Michigan healthcare conglomerate that they are prepared to walk off the job if a fair contract isn’t secured. The strike authorization does not mean a walkout is imminent, but it gives the union’s bargaining team the power to call one if negotiations continue to stall, the union said.

San Jose, CA – On March 3, around 40 nurses affiliated with the California Nurses Association gathered after 2 p.m. near the Federal Building in downtown San Jose, to support healthcare for all and demanding that hospitals keep ICE out. The protest speakers included nurses who had worked in healthcare for decades. Monte Wright, a member of the California Nurses Association, who had been a nurse for 31 years, stated, “Most importantly, we're out to let the public know that healthcare's a human right, and that everybody deserves healthcare.”

Nurse Strike’s Focus Moves To Manhattan’s Richest Hospital Complex

The largest and longest nurses strike in the city’s history will continue at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospitals after nurses there decisively rejected the hospital chain’s contract offer 3,099 to 867. About 10,500 other nurses will start returning to work Saturday, ending the strike at three Manhattan hospitals run by Mt. Sinai and at Montefiore Medical Center facilities in the Bronx. Those nurses overwhelmingly voted to approve contracts that maintained staffing ratio language, beat back additional health care costs, and added some protection from workplace violence and misuse of artificial intelligence.

Nurses Reject Deal Without Enforceable Staffing Ratios

Nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday, Feb. 11, to reject a tentative contract agreement and continue their strike, now in its 31st day. Out of roughly 4,200 eligible nurses, 3,099 voted against the deal, and 867 voted in favor — a 78% rejection that repudiated hospital management and directly challenged the union’s top leadership. The rejected agreement included the same 12% raise over three years that nurses at Mount Sinai and Montefiore ratified. But it did not include enforceable staffing ratio language — the central demand of the strike and the provision that makes the NewYork-Presbyterian fight different from the other hospitals.

A major strike at Kaiser Permanente entered its third week on Monday, with thousands more workers joining the picket lines to protest what they argue are unsafe staffing levels at the California-based nonprofit giant. More than 3,000 pharmacy technicians, pharmacy assistants and clinical laboratory professionals in Southern California are joining the work stoppage, according to the United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals, which represents nurses and other workers already on strike.

Fifteen thousand New York nurses are more than three weeks into their strike for a fairer contract. Yesterday members of the New York State Nurses Association braved below-freezing temperatures to march across the Brooklyn Bridge and deliver a message to City Hall. Hundreds of nurses joined together in Cadman Plaza Park, clad in cherry-red NYSNA beanies and holding aloft signs that read “Safe Staffing Saves Lives,” “Quality Healthcare for All,” and “Hospital Execs Literally Make Us Sick." As their procession stretched out across the bridge, chanting nurses were treated to applause from passersby and blaring honks from supportive onlookers below.

Iowa Nurses Join Teamsters In Hard-Fought Election Win

February 3, 2026 Belinda Carpenter, Labor Notes. Organize! Health Care, Nurses, Teamsters, Unions

In a hospital, there is always another patient waiting. As soon as one bed empties, another is filled. At UnityPoint in Des Moines, nurses were expected to keep that system running no matter the cost to our patients, to our licenses, or to ourselves. By 2024 our hospital systems were routinely over capacity, patient wait times were astronomical, and staffing was dangerously thin. Nurses were expected to do more with less, while executives continued to reward themselves. That pressure pushed UnityPoint nurses to do something unprecedented: organize ourselves and become Teamsters.

Washington, DC - A Jan. 28 candlelight vigil at Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in downtown D.C., one of many organized by National Nurses United, aimed to pressure the Senate to defeat the massive money bill funding the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE) and the Border Patrol. Their agents killed VA nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis days before. “Stop the killing, stop the murders, stop the deportations, stop the raids and the white supremacy,” said local activist, Dante O’Hara, who organized speakers at the event. He’s an affiliate with the Federal Unionists Network, DMV.

Striking Nurses Connect Their Struggle To The Fight To Abolish ICE

On Tuesday, January 27, NYSNA held a picket outside of Mount Sinai Hospital, holding space for speeches against the bosses and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following the public execution of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, National Nurses United (NNU) — the largest union of registered nurses representing 225,000 members — put out a statement calling for the abolition of ICE. The statement reads in part: ICE and all related immigration enforcement agencies have repeatedly shown through their violence, terror, and lawlessness that they pose a dire public health threat to the entire country and all our communities.

On Eve Of Strike, Kaiser Nurses Sound Alarm On Patient Care

January 24, 2026 Mark Kreidler, Scheer Post. Resist! California, Kaiser Permanente, Nurses, Strikes

A stinging new report from a union stuck in going-nowhere labor negotiations with health giant Kaiser Permanente makes clear the union’s position: Kaiser, sitting on $67 billion in reserves, can well afford to address glaring staffing shortages and close pay gaps that the union says were years in the making. Will the report move the needle in negotiations? Not likely. And that almost certainly means that a massive employee walkout against Kaiser, the second such job strike in four months, will go off as planned on Jan. 26.

Kaiser Nurses Set To Strike

When 31,000 Kaiser Permanente nurses and health care workers walk off the job on Jan. 26, they will be fighting for safe staffing at a nonprofit health system sitting on $66 billion in reserves — reserves that include investments in the private prison companies caging migrants for ICE. Kaiser Permanente Group Trust has held investments in both CoreCivic and GEO Group, the two largest operators of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, according to financial disclosures reviewed by the union UNAC/UHCP. The investments appear in Kaiser’s Form 5500 filings from 2020 through 2022, the most recent years for which public filings are available.

Maggie Latona is one of more than 15,000 nurses in the New York State Nurses Association currently on strike. She is also a member of the union’s Contract Action Team which has engaged with members to determine what they want to fight for. She joined “The Indypendent News Hour”, our weekly radio show, on Tuesday from the picket line outside Mount Sinai Hospital, to discuss the nurses’ strike, what’s at stake in their fight, and how patient care is impacted by the current conditions nurses are working under. Latona also detailed the ways in which some of the wealthiest hospital networks in the city, like Mount Sinai, New York Presbyterian and Montefiore, are overcharging patients and leaving their nursing staff without adequate protection or support.

New York City Nurses In Historic Strike

January 14, 2026 Sharon Black, Struggle La Lucha. Resist! Health Care, New York City (NYC), Nurses, Strike, Worker Rights

New York, Jan. 13 — Do you remember when New York City nurses were heroes? When they showed up every day at the height of the pandemic, risking their lives to save thousands from a deadly and highly contagious virus? The city clapped and banged pots at 7 p.m. for them. Politicians called them angels. Their courage was the thin white line between life and death for a city in crisis. But the executives at New York’s largest and richest private hospital networks — Mount Sinai, New York-Presbyterian, and Montefiore — have short memories. In the cold dawn of the new year, they have chosen not to honor that sacrifice, but to betray it.
