Still no agreement between nurses, hospital

[Owatonna People's Press, December 17, 2010] Owatonna nurses will not have a new contract before Christmas, putting a little something different on their list this year.

Local nurses have been in contract negotiations with representatives from Owatonna Hospital since Aug. 16, getting off to a later start than usual. Due to the late start to the negotiations process, the existing contract was extended thrice, running through Nov. 8, though it was originally set to expire at the end of August.
