Twin Cities Hospitals, Nurses Reach Agreement; Averting Strike
An agreement has been reached between the Minnesota Nurses Association and 14 Twin Cities hospitals, averting the largest modern-day strike of its kind.
[A] joint statement from the union and hospitals said: “The registered nurses and the hospitals believe a settlement of the labor agreement at this time is in the best interests of patients and our community.” [...] [T]he two sides “have agreed to a renewed commitment to working through both parties’ staffing issues through the existing committee systems at the various hospitals.”
