Striking Minnesota nurses ratify new contract
– canadianbusiness.com
MINNEAPOLIS – Nurses at five Allina Health hospitals in Minnesota have approved a contract to return to work.
A majority of rank-and-file members of the Minnesota Nurses Association on Thursday voted to ratify the tentative agreement reached earlier in the week. Both the union and Allina Health say the nurses will return to work Sunday morning.
The nurses had been on strike in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area since Labor Day, during which time they rejected multiple contract proposals from Allina.
Union Executive Director Rose Roach has said the agreement reached on Tuesday secures advances for nurses in workplace safety, staffing policies and health insurance.
In a joint statement, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton and Lt. Gov. Tina Smith say they are “grateful this long and painful strike has ended.”

But when her mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer—a month before Iglezos gave birth to her first child, Lucas, now three—she decided to buy additional coverage. “The diagnosis heightened our awareness of our own mortality and how quickly things can change,” she says. “We felt the need to make sure everything was in place so our child was protected.”

When you’re young, life is simple—after all, it’s just you. But as you achieve some of life’s milestones—marriage, home, family—it gets more complicated. You’ve worked hard to achieve those goals, which is why it’s important to put measures in place to protect what you’ve built and those that matter most.
If you find life insurance confusing, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be. We’ve answered three of the most common questions about life insurance to help you understand how easy it is to protect your family.
Do I need life insurance?
