ST. PAUL, MN – The following are statements from Governor Mark Dayton and Lieutenant Governor Tina Smith, in response to the ongoing labor dispute at the Mayo Clinic hospital in Albert Lea.
The following is a statement from Governor Mark Dayton:
“I deplore this extremely unfortunate situation. I urge both sides to resolve their differences immediately, for the sake of the workers, the patients, and the hospital’s standing in the community.”
The following is a statement from Lt. Governor Tina Smith:
“For the sake of workers and their families, negotiations should resume immediately to resolve this unfortunate situation.
