Reply to comment by [deleted] in What New Yorkers need to know as thousands of NYC nurses begin strike by Nscience

It's not lack of pay, it's lack of nurses. NYSNA said as such, the time of empty promises is over. The ratio of nurses to patients is unsafe at nearly 20 to 1 at times. My job has almost 500 opening for nurses, it's a systematic choice they are making by refusing to staff accordingly. Unfortunately for them Nurses are much more irreplaceable than other positions so now the hospital is suffering due to their lack of care.

From even this linked article, it appears to be both.

The Hospitals agreed to their money demands, they do not agree to the staffing demands. If they only cared about the money, the strike would not be happening.
