This morning MNA met with representatives from Allina to continue bargaining. MNA asked three clear questions related to Allina’s proposals:

  • How does gutting our contract ensure patient safety?
  • How does the employers’ maniacal need for “flexibility” enhance safe patient care?

Allina officials did not respond to MNA with any clear answers to the questions above.
