The Minnesota Nurses Association, which represents 15,000 nurses from dozens of hospitals across the state, has voted to authorize an unfair labor practices strike.
The proposed strike, which will involve nurses from 16 hospitals statewide, is set to begin on Dec. 11, unless negotiations with hospitals progress to a point where a strike becomes unnecessary. Nurses voted"overwhelmingly" to strike for up to 20 days, the Minnesota Nurses Association toldThis is the second time the union has authorized a strike this year: An earlier strike ran for three days in September for what the nurses said were unfair labor practices.
ROBBINSDALE, MN - SEPTEMBER 12: Nurses strike Monday, Sept. 12, 2022 outside North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, Minn. A three- day nurses strike in the Twin Cities and Duluth began around dawn."Our hospitals are in crisis, and our CEOs have failed nurses and patients. They have failed to solve the crisis of patient care, and they have failed to solve the crisis of working conditions pushing nurses away from the bedside," said Mary C.
Hospitals impacted by the strike quickly responded to Thursday's vote, saying that the union had acted too hastily. Thesaid that the Minnesota Nurses Association"completely failed to give the mediation process time," and said it was making preparations to ensure"continuity of care" for patients who might be affected by the proposed strike.
