Dozens of Twin Cities Allina Health hospice nurses reached a tentative agreement Wednesday on their first contract with the health system after more than a year of bargaining, their union says.

Nurses are scheduled to vote on the tentative agreement Monday.

Service Employees International Union Healthcare Minnesota and Iowa says the deal was reached shortly before nurses — who unionized in March 2025 — were set to vote on authorizing an open-ended strike. Every nurse voted in favor of authorizing last month's seven-day strike. Nurses also hit the picket lines for one day in July.
