HealthPartners employees with a Roseville, Minnesota-based union have announced they are going on strike following nine months of contract negotiations.
Members of the Office of Professional Employees International Union Local 12 (OPEIU) made the announcement on Friday in St. Paul.
Workers say they're fighting for affordable healthcare benefits, fair wages and a respectful workplace environment.
The union says HealthPartners is refusing to give its members fair wages and is "continuing to attack the quality health care workers have fought so hard to keep."
