The residents are unionized at many hospitals in NYC. They don't fight as hard and they aren't as organized tbh. They are SEIU members and SEIU is more about making nice with the boss. For example they settled their contract at Westchester Medical Center for like 3% and 4% a year while the nurses got 8% and 6%. And that is in a facility where it's illegal for anyone to strike because it's public sector.

All the unions that play nice expecting payback from the boss are having a hard time right now. All the hard core unions like the nurses are having a better year bargaining.
