Hibbing nurses strike underway


The Hibbing hospital nurses began their strike Monday. The Minnesota Nurses Association strike will continue until Thursday with negotiations to start over after that. The sticking point has been staffing levels, patient safety and the inclusion of nurses in the hospitals decision making process.

The Fairview University Medical Center-Mesabi is the region’s largest hospital. It has remained open through the strike using alternative staffing arrangements. Other nurses at the hospital are represented by different unions, including the Steelworkers.
