An overwhelming majority of hundreds of nurses at two Long Island hospitals voted to authorize a strike.
The nurses are not currently on strike, but the decision allows negotiators to call a strike if needed.
The potential strike would include nurses and health care professionals working at Northwell’s Long Island Jewish Valley Stream and Peconic Bay Medical Center.
