Essential workers with SEIU Healthcare Minnesota have reached a contract agreement with Allina Health after threatening a strike.
The SEIU bargaining team, which represents 4,000 healthcare workers across the Allina system, announced Wednesday that it had reached tentative agreement with Allina.
Earlier this week, the union said the two parties still remained “deeply divided.” An Unfair Labor Practice strike was scheduled to begin Monday if an agreement was not met.
While the union previously said Allina was offering workers zero pay increase, the tentative agreement now includes a 5% increase over three years, including 3% in the first year.
Brockton man indicted in Pembroke crash that killed Quincy woman
BROCKTON A Plymouth County grand jury has indicted a Brockton man on manslaughter and other charges in connection with a fatal Pembroke crash on Route 3 that killed a Quincy woman.
The indictments transfer Randy Campbell s case from Plymouth District Court to Plymouth County Superior Court where more serious cases are tried and defendants can face longer sentences if convicted.
The speedometer in Campbell s vehicle was stuck at 80 mph following the collision, Assistant District Attorney Amanda Fowle said during Campbell s district court arraignment.
A blood sample taken from Campbell, who was hospitalized with injuries from the crash, revealed he had fentanyl, THC, methadone and cocaine in his system, Fowle said.
