Nurses Willing to go on Strike Over Contract Dispute

Nurses Willing to go on Strike Over Contract Dispute - Health Council

“Thousands of nurses in the Twin Cities said they’re willing to go on strike over a contract dispute with Allina Health.”

“The Minnesota Nurses Association, which represents about 5,000 nurses, said a majority of its members voted Monday to reject the latest contract offer.”

“These members work at hospitals across the metro, including United Hospital in St. Paul, Abbott Northwestern and the Phillips Eye Institute in Minneapolis, Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and Unity Hospital in Fridley. The union said nurses rejected the contract offer because it shifts too much of the company’s health care costs to the nurses.”
