Children’s Minnesota reached tentative agreement with the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA)

Children’s Minnesota is grateful to have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract with the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA). As a condition of the agreement, the union has withdrawn its strike notice, and the work stoppage that was set to begin on Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, will not take place. The union must still ratify the deal. A vote is expected to happen during the week of Dec. 6, 2022. The union’s bargaining team is unanimously, favorably recommending this contract for ratification.

Thanks to the tireless work of our negotiation team and countless others, patients and families across our region can rest assured that our kid experts will be there to care for the most vulnerable children in our community. We value the dedication of our nurses and countless other staff for the vital roles they each play in caring for our patient families.
