SEIU Healthcare Minnesota have officially approved Mayo Clinic's proposal for food service workers, but union leaders suggest the situation has caused long-term damage, according to an article on the Post-Bulletin website.
Two union votes were approved that end a conflict that began when Mayo announced plans to outsource its food service department to Morrison Healthcare.
The first vote saw 500 dietary workers approve Mayo's proposal that provided a financial bridge through the end of 2017. The second vote granted dietary workers a four-month window of "super seniority" for consideration of returning to jobs at Mayo.
"Dietary workers who approved this agreement are still upset that Mayo made this decision (to outsource)," a union official said. "They continue to feel that they've been thrown under the bus so Mayo can make more profits.
