The Minnesota Women's Press has named the Minnesota Nurses Association one of its 'Newsmakers of the Year' for the union's leadership in improving our health care system.
The MNA has about 17,000 members, most of them women. It has publicized the problems caused by understaffing in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes and successfully won passage of state legislation to prohibit mandatory overtime for nurses.
The Women's Press also cited the June 2001 nursing strike at Fairview University Medical Center-Riverside and Fairview-Southdale as an example of the efforts the union has made to improve conditions for nurses and patients.
