Allina hospice nurses OK 7-day strike amid stalled talks
Roughly 60 Allina hospice nurses in the Twin Cities metro voted unanimously to authorize a seven-day unfair-labor-practices strike, the union said.[1]
No strike date was set, and the nurses already held a one-day strike earlier this summer.[1] Federal law requires the union to give Allina 10 days' notice before any walkout, and the parties meet again Friday with a federal mediator after more than a year of negotiations.[1]
SEIU Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa says the nurses serve hospice patients at facilities and in homes across the Twin Cities metro.[1] The union framed the authorization as leverage after more than a year of negotiations with Allina.[1]
Because federal law requires at least 10 days' notice, any walkout would occur only after that window if the union sets a date.[1]
