Health care workers at HealthPartners Stillwater Medical Group (SMG) reached a tentative agreement with their employer on Wednesday.
The announcement follows the group’s four-day strike in July and days after the group voted to authorize an open-ended Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike.
Details of the contract, according to SEIU Healthcare MN & IA, include 10.5% raises over the 3-year life of the contract, increases in longevity bonuses, increased differentials when members pick up open shifts, new nondiscrimination language and more.
“We are proud of the gains we won for the frontline healthcare workers who make HealthPartners SMG run. These wins we achieved are the direct result of our membership’s unity and willingness to stand up for what healthcare workers and our patients deserve. These gains are because our members stepped up, whether to sign a petition, wear a union button, and especially to all of us who went on strike during our 4-day ULP strike in July and voted to authorize an open-ended strike threat. Today we reached a tentative agreement that we feel is fair and dignified. It does not achieve everything we wanted to, but we are proud of what we have accomplished.”
Members will vote on whether to ratify the agreement in the coming week.
