• Doctors reach tentative deal with Allina Health (klfdradio.com) — Doctors at Allina's Unity campus in Fridley have reached a tentative first contract with the health system after a historic four-day strike, potentially reshaping working conditions and patient care locally. The three-year deal, now headed to a ratification vote, promises pay transparency, more professional autonomy, and a formal grievance process, while dropping a demand for paid sick leave amid broader concerns about AI and a proposed Allina–Sutter merger.
