What is a Union?

A labor union is a group of workers who come together to have a voice in their workplace and make positive change.  

Without a union, the employer has 100% of the power to change your working conditions however they want at any time. With a union, you and your coworkers have a voice and a contract that upholds negotiated standards in the workplace including pay, benefits, and scheduling. 

who We Are

The Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) is a member-driven labor union comprised of 22,000 Registered Nurses (RNs) and other healthcare professionals in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Iowa. 

Power in Numbers

MNA represents the majority of RNs working in hospitals in Minnesota and sets the standard for wages and benefits throughout the state. Standing up with their coworkers, MNA nurses across all four corners of the state have won life-changing contracts with industry-leading wages, job protections, and retirement benefits, including pensions. By setting a strong standard, even nurses who aren’t yet part of MNA see higher standards in their facilities. In recent years, more and more nurses are choosing to join MNA because they recognize that there’s power in numbers. Want to learn more? Contact us!
