WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) issued the following statement:
"I stand behind the 15,000 New York City nurses who took to the streets today with reasonable demands on their compensation, benefits, and workplace protections.
"Our nurses will always be the bedrock of our healthcare system, and they deserve a fair contract that recognizes their contributions and respects their instrumental role in keeping New Yorkers safe and healthy.
"Anything less is simply unacceptable!"
