ST. PAUL, MN – Governor Mark Dayton and Lt. Governor Tina Smith have asked the negotiators for Allina Health and the Minnesota Nurses Association to meet at the Governor’s Residence at 11:00am tomorrow, to reach an agreement that will allow the health care system and nurses to resume the quality of health care Minnesotans need and deserve.

 

The Dayton-Smith Administration together with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service have been meeting separately with both sides over the past five weeks. Now, both sides are asked to continue meeting at the Residence until their remaining differences are resolved in a way that puts patient care first, and is agreeable to both sides.
