NEW YORK — Politicians are piling on criticism of New York City hospitals as executives scramble to weather a historic nurses strike.

Nearly 15,000 nurses walked out Monday at some of the city’s largest private hospitals — including Montefiore Medical Center and multiple New York-Presbyterian and Mount Sinai Health System locations — after months of stalled negotiations over pay raises, health insurance coverage and understaffing penalties.

The New York State Nurses Association and a host of influential political allies, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, are laying the blame at hospital executives’ feet.
