The union representing thousands of Minnesota nurses has announced that it has reached a tentative agreement with hospitals, which would resolve a labor dispute without a threatened strike
Ascension Borgess nurses have voted to give their bargaining team the ability to call for a strike .
A hospital spokesperson said Tuesday morning that several Minnesota hospitals have reached tentative agreements with nurses who voted to approve a strike earlier this month.
Back in September, thousands of nurses went on a three-day strike, citing unfair labor practices. Union nurses say those issues have only gotten worse and they have yet to reach a contract agreement.
The planned strike, which was voted on with "overwhelming" support from the 15,000 nurses in the Minnesota Nurses Association, will begin on Dec. 11 and could last until Dec. 31.
