Over 600 physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners will stage a one-day strike against Allina Health in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area on Wednesday, November 5th. The Doctors Council SEIU Local 10MD announced the strike earlier this week after contract talks ended with no deal.

The healthcare providers formed the union in October 2023, with a vote of 325 for and 200 against. The union, which covers Allina Health clinics in Minnesota and Wisconsin, has been without a contract ever since. Union members voted in June of this year to authorize a strike, with 90 percent in favor.

The workers are fighting proposed cuts to pay and benefits, and chronic understaffing that threaten patient care and clinician safety. Allina’s management is also closing four Twin Cities metro clinics—moves that will further restrict community access to care and place additional strain on remaining staff and facilities.

The announcement comes on the heels of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE) Local 59 filing an intent to strike, giving Minneapolis Public Schools the required 10-day notice per state law; meaning teachers could go on strike as early as November 11. The notice followed a strike authorization vote of 92 percent in favor.
