Members of the Minnesota Nurses Association will decide whether to strike following what they see as a lack of action from hospital executives during contract negotiations.
Approximately 15,000 nurses in the Twin Cities and Twin Ports are fighting for fair contracts and to hold healthcare executives accountable to put patients before profits, according to the Minnesota Nurses Association.
After months of negotiations and working without contracts, MNA nurses from both the Twin Ports and the Twin Cities will be voting on Monday to go on strike.
A vote to strike wouldn’t lead to nurses immediately walking off the job but would allow the Minnesota Nurses Association to call some 15,000 away from bedsides and to picket lines for any duration with 10 days notice.
