Doctors, physicians' assistants and nurse practitioners with Allina Health announced that they will hold a one-day unfair labor practices strike on Nov. 5.
The group of over 600 health care workers voted to form a union with Doctors Council - SEIU in October 2023, and have been bargaining for a first contract since February 2024.
The union says they've met with Allina nearly 50 times with the intention of reaching an agreement that "ensures their work is valued, they have safe working conditions and their voice is heard."
Over the summer, union members overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike if they deemed it necessary.
On Friday, members said they'll picket at the Allina clinic locations in Coon Rapids, West St. Paul and Richfield.
