The Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) is a labor union representing Registered Nurses in the state of Minnesota. They are affiliated with National Nurses United, a national nurses union promoting guaranteed nurse to patient staffing ratios.
On June 10, 2010, the MNA staged a one day walkout strike to protest wage freezes, pension decreases, and to advocate for guaranteed nurse to patient staffing ratios. The MNA said it was the largest nurses strike in US history, with more than 12,000 union members involved. [1]
