Resident Physicians at NYC's Elmhurst Hospital Reach Tentative Deal After 3-Day Strike, Will Return to Work

Resident physicians at Elmhurst Hospital Center in New York City have reached a tentative deal and will return to work after a three-day strike.
The strike was the first by doctors in New York City since 1990.
The doctors in training are employed by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, but work at Elmhurst, a public hospital in Queens.
The tentative contract includes wage increases of 18% over three years, a $2000 ratification bonus, and a meal allowance that reaches parity with residents at Mount Sinai.
The strike was about power and addressing disparities in pay between Elmhurst and Mount Sinai.
