Thousands of nurses in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota walked off the job today, and over 12,000 nurses staged the strike. According to union organizers, this is the largest nursing strike in the history of the nation. The union members set to strike last month after failing to reach an agreement on a new contract with Twin Cities Hospitals. Union members were opposed to the hospitals' plan to allow more flexibility in switching nurses from one department to another as they felt that the hospital staff is already spread too thin. Instead, they feel that the hospitals should just better plan nurse assignments so switching would not be necessary.
