Nurses at Mount Sinai and Montefiore have voted to ratify their agreement on new contracts on Wednesday, while the strike will continue for union nurses at NewYork-Presbyterian.
A new report found more than 90% of hair extensions that were tested contained hazardous substances.
Nurses on strike at two major New York City hospital systems have approved new contracts, but ones striking at another system have rejected the proposal, ensuring that the monthlong walkout will continue at some of the city’s major medical centers.
A Silent Spring Institute study identified 48 chemicals of public health concern in hair extension, including 12 flagged under California's Proposition 65 as likely to cause cancer or reproductive harm.
