Twin Cities Hospital Workers
Members of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota in Twin Cities hospitals are working to improve quality care for our patients, our families and our communities.
Quality Affordable Health Care. Having good health care means that hospital workers can better provide for our families and the patients in our care. That’s why Twin Cities hospital workers are fighting for quality affordable health care for hospital workers and for all Minnesotans.
Cost Containment Committee. In our latest contract, we negotiated a Cost Containment Committee charged with determining new and innovative ways to control health care costs in hospitals’ health care plans.

Health Care
Left out in the Cold. Twin Cities hospital workers are left out in the cold with high premiums and out-of-pocket costs, which makes it difficult to afford health insurance through our jobs.
Health Care for Health Care Workers. The increasing cost of health care is putting a strain on businesses and working people alike, especially health care workers.
Race to the Bottom. Minnesota communities subsidize employee healthcare for five Twin Cities hospital systems, according to a new report released by Healthcare FACT, a coalition of community, faith and labor organizations.
Employment Security
Confronting the Shortage. Secure employment for health care workers means a better trained, more experienced workforce for the hospital, which in turn creates a safer and more productive hospital, and ultimately, a healthier community.
Improving Quality Patient Care
Unsafe Hospitals. Minnesota hospital workers suffered more than twice the rate of workplace injuries than other state industries in 2004. The report also showed that hospital support staff reported the highest number of injuries in four of five Twin Cities hospital systems.
