NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US Sen. Bernie Sanders rally with nurses on ninth day of strike

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders are rallying with nurses in Manhattan during the ninth day of their strike. The democratic socialists on Tuesday called on hospital executives to return to the negotiating table to resolve the contract impasse that prompted some 15,000 nurses to walk off the job last week. The union says it has held one bargaining session with each of the three hospital systems impacted since the strike began on Jan. 12. Both sides say those meetings ended with little progress. There are so far no plans this week to resume talks.
