Minnesota: Thousands of Nurses Continue Strike into Second Month
----------------------------------------------------------------

And in Minnesota, thousands of nurses have voted to remain on strike
into a second month, as they demand a contract that includes safe
staffing ratios in the hospitals, improved security in emergency rooms
and the right to retain their union-backed health insurance plans. More
than 4,000 nurses are currently participating in the strike, which began
on September 5, exactly one month ago.
