3. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

   livesinscrubs replied to Brian's topic in Union

   I think they are FILING for ULP but it takes time to find out it is deemed ULP or not. We are hoping for that but my understanding is that we do not know for sure just yet. I could be wrong. I also hope for some negotiation before a strike.

    livesinscrubs replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    our hospital is using the same practice, a few years ago we were able to get all the overtime we wanted, many times i could call at 3p to see if they needed help at 7 p and they would say YES PLEASE. our sister hospital started doing it first, they o...
