Mamdani and Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) joined the New York State Nurses Association on the picket line this morning. The union represents almost 15,000 striking nurses from the Mount Sinai, New York-Presbyterian, and Montefiore hospital groups. Mamdani said: “This is about a fair contract. This is about dignity,…Now is your time of need, where we can ensure that this is a city you don’t just work in, but a city you can also live in.”
