## Resource

Thousands of healthcare workers rallied in Foley Square demanding a fair new contract that guarantees living wages, health benefits, retirement security, and safe staffing — all while fighting back against AI-driven job cuts and workplace violence. As union leaders negotiate with hospital employers, workers share how they’re barely scraping by, yet still provide lifesaving care. Elected officials backed the fight, calling these frontline heroes the heart of New York’s medical system — and urging employers to reach a deal before the current contract expires in 2026.
