Sanford hospital labor dispute dragging on

There's still no progress in the labor dispute between Sanford Bemidji Hospital and about 230 of its registered nurses. Last month the nurses voted to reject Sanford's contract offer and instead authorize a strike. Now, officials with the Minnesota Nurses Association union say they're planning an informational picket for August 17.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Minnesota Public Radio reporter Tom Robertson from our Bemidji bureau about that and a few other things happening in that part of Minnesota.
