No new talks scheduled between Allina and striking nurses

October 5, 2016 By Tasha Redel

Both sides agree they need to return to the bargaining table after union nurses rejected Allina Health’s latest contract offer. Minnesota Nurses Association spokesman Rick Fuentes says staffing remains a barrier to reaching a deal.

He says  “the nurses proposed this charge nurse staffing change and what Allina responded with was “well, we’ll have a committee look at it at various places and then we’ll come up with a solution, which nurses didn’t feel was enough considering how long they’ve been telling Allina that we need to do something about staffing.”

Fuentes says health benefits also remain a sticking point.  Allina says it’s latest offer was fair. The nurses have been on strike since Labor Day.
