Brooklyn judge mulls arguments made by LICH nurses vs. NYU
SUNY’s McCall frets NYU ‘might decide not to do this’
State Supreme Court Justice Johnny Lee Baynes heard arguments in Brooklyn court on Thursday in a battle over whether or not NYU-Langone Medical Center violated a promise to rehire Long Island College Hospital (LICH) nurses at a the ER after SUNY shut down the hospital.
In the meantime, the sale of LICH to developer Fortis Property Group remains on hold.
Justice Baynes has up to 60 days to deliver the decision. He is pushing for both sides to reach a settlement out of court, however. “I don’t know if that will happen,” he said. ‘The court may well be compelled to make a decision.”
