The nurses, represented by the Minnesota Nurses Association, had scheduled a picket for Aug. 2.
“Allina Health saw that nurses were united in opposition to a proposed scheduling system, and agreed to changes,” MNA Buffalo Chair Debra Kosciolek, RN, said in a prepared statement. “Nurses negotiated a fair contract that allows us to continue providing patients with the care they need and expect.”
The union did not provide details of the contract agreement, as nurses must still ratify the labor deal. A vote is scheduled for Aug. 2.
In an emailed statement to Becker’s Hospital Review, Allina says it “is pleased to have reached this tentative agreement, and we look forward to the vote.”
