Mediation Used in Health Care Labor Relations

By Beth Graham - September 16, 2010

by Holly Hayes When we saw this link on mediate.com about nurses requesting mediation to achieve safe staffing levels, we wondered where else mediation was being requested in healthcare conflict. A search found that in September, mediation was used, but failed, between the Minnesota Nurses Association and St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, MN. A nurses’ union in New Jersey requested mediation in July for their negotiations with hospital management. In June, negotiators for Twin Cities nurses and 14 hospitals met with federal mediators to attempt to resolve differences regarding a new labor contract. We welcome your comments on the use of mediation in health care labor relations. _________________________________________________________________________ Holly Hayes is a mediator at Karl Bayer, Dispute Resolution Expert where she focuses on mediation of health care disputes.
