Nearly 500 registered nurses at Unity Hospital will vote May 31 on whether to join the Minnesota Nurses Association.
The National Labor Relations Board is running an expedited election after Allina Hospitals and Clinics agreed with the union on the scope of the bargaining unit, workplace access, and employer neutrality.
Nurses at the hospital voted 6 years ago not to join MNA, but now want a voice in the workplace and to join with the majority of unionized nurses metrowide, said Walt Fredrickson, MNA?s labor relations director.
In March, 127 technical workers at the hospital also organized and voted to join SEIU Local 113.
