Minnesota Nurses

Hit ❤ and comment if you love unions! #UnionStrong #1u

We are proud to endorse @peggyflanagan to be the next Senator from Minnesota. Amidst assaults on immigrant communities in her state, Peggy has fought to protect the safety, health & wellbeing of all Minnesotans. Nurses welcome her leadership and look forward to working with her!

413 of our members live in District 41. That’s not a ‘special interest’ — that’s your constituency. They’re asking to be heard, not to buy influence. Calling that corruption? What a way to kick off #NursesWeek.

The @MNHospital Association urges illness prevention but ignores how hospital administrators add to the crisis. Facility-wide understaffing leaves patients stuck in EDs, creates unsafe conditions for nurses & delays critical care. @StarTribune #PatientsBeforeProfits #USHealthcare

We honor the memory of Rep. Mary Murphy, a steadfast advocate for labor and nurses. Her unwavering support for workers and patient protections will never be forgotten. Our condolences to her family and all who were inspired by her dedication.

We mourn the loss of Sen. Kari Dziedzic, a tireless advocate for nurses and patient care. Her courage in standing with nurses on picket lines and championing legislation will always be remembered. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones.

Every Tuesday, 1st Street Clinic workers in Duluth wear red to show their union pride and solidarity! 💪 #UnionStrong

📣“The public has the right to know who is being paid to influence their government. Workers have a right to know which CEOs are at the Capitol working to kill their legislation”. - John Welsh, RN, calling for #transparency at today's MN Campaign Finance Board hearing. #MNNurses

#Solidarity with UMC New Orleans nurses! #UnionStrong #1u #SafeStaffingSavesLives

💪 Powerful send-off w/ labor champs @keithellison , @epmurphymn, and @TinaSmithMN! We're hitting the 🚪s for #HarrisWalz2024, @KariRehrauer, and @zackstephenson to talk w/ union folks about defending our freedoms + turning the page on MAGAs attempts to control our lives! #mnleg

Great to be with door knocking volunteers in Coon Rapids this morning. Unions for Harris-Walz!

It’s a privilege to be with @minnesotanurses at the 2024 #MNAconvention. Grateful to be together in the work to ensure that healthcare works for people-not the insurance companies, PBMs & for-profit hospitals that put profits over patients. #MNAconvention #PatientsBeforeProfits

We know that the reality of A.I. is much more complicated than what we’re being told by our employers. That's why we must take collective action to ensure its expansion doesn't accelerate the hospital industry’s race to the bottom when it comes to safe patient care! #NNU24
