Thousands of Minnesota nurses hit the picket lines in historic 3-day strike

The largest private-sector nurses strike in U.S. history began on Monday with some 15,000 nurses launching a three-day strike at 15 hospitals across the Twin Cities and Duluth area.

The hospitals say the strike will bring minimal disruptions to patient care as they lean on thousands of traveling nurses to replace striking nurses.

The strike comes after months of failed negotiations as nurses seek higher staffing levels and 30% wage increases over the next three years. Hospitals have countered with around 10% increases over three years and say they can’t afford to go any higher.
