More contract talks end fruitless for Allina, nurses union
Another round of contract talks has ended with no agreement between Allina Health and the union representing the hospital system's nurses.
The Minnesota Nurses Association says its rank-and-file members will vote on Allina's latest offer later this month. A super-majority of "No" votes would authorize union negotiators to call a strike and set the time and duration of a walkout.
The union would have to give the hospital system 10 days advance notice of a job action. Health benefits are the major sticking point in the talks.
In June, nearly 5,000 nurses went on strike for a week.
