Will the NYC nurses strike end by January 31, 2026?

On January 12, 2026, New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) nurses began the largest nurse strike in New York City history, with over 15,000 nurses striking across the Montefiore, Mount Sinai, and New York-Presbyterian hospital systems (see:https://www.nysna.org/news/nysna-update-january-16-2026) This market will resolve to “Yes” if the NYSNA New York City nurses strike ends by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The strike will be considered to have ended if an agreement is reached between NYSNA and all the relevant hospitals/hospital systems for the striking nurses to return to work across all three hospital systems, or if it is otherwise announced by the NYSNA or the relevant hospitals/hospital systems that the strike has ended and the striking nurses are returning to work across all three hospital systems. A tentative or conditional agreement in which the nurses return to work while negotiations are ongoing will count. Negotiations or agreements which do not include an agreement for the nurses to return to work will not impact this market’s resolution. Negotiations, agreements or announcements allowing for specific subsets of the striking nurses to return to work, but indicate that the strike is still ongoing, will not count. An official announcement of a qualifying agreement or end of the strike within this market’s timeframe will suffice to resolve this market to “Yes” regardless of when the agreement will go into effect or when the nurses will return to work. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the NYSNA and the Montefiore, Mount Sinai, and New York-Presbyterian hospital systems; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
