Nurses Union Members Ratify New Contract
On July 6, Minnesota’s Nurses Association ratified a settlement agreed upon by the union and the Twin Cities Hospitals. The general terms of contract are as follows:
- A wage-only agreement with 0%, 1%, 2% increase (over the three years)
- Both sides dropped all other proposals
- All Unfair Labor Practices charges were withdrawn
- No new staffing language but a commitment to addressing both parties’ staffing issues through the existing committee systems at the various hospitals
