US EditionMinnesota Nurses Association Votes on Strike
- On Monday, more than 15,000 nurses from 13 healthcare facilities throughout the Twin Cities and Duluth cast their votes on whether to approve a strike authorization.
- This vote follows the pending contract expirations with metro area hospitals on June 1 and Duluth contracts on July 1 amid concerns about staffing levels and unsafe conditions.
- Nurses report high patient ratios with one nurse caring for up to five complex patients, while hospitals claim competitive wage proposals and good faith bargaining.
- If a super majority authorizes the strike, negotiators can call it anytime after a 10-day notice following contract expiration, with results announced during Tuesday news conferences in St. Paul and Duluth.
- A strike could affect care at 13 hospitals and has prompted Aspirus St. Luke's to identify 130 replacement nurses, though some hospital leaders remain open to progress avoiding work stoppage.
