The potential use of artificial intelligence in healthcare settings was a big subject at the bargaining table for union nurses at northern Michigan's largest hospital. Now that they have a deal, what does it say?

The three-year deal includes 5 percent annual raises over the life of the contract and "guardrails on AI and technology."

Nurses with the Traverse City Munson Nurses Association — a local union — have reached a tentative agreement with Munson Hospital after months of negotiation. One of the big issues on the table throughout the bargaining sessions was the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare.

The nurses at Munson Medical Center are finishing up their third week of working under an expired contract. They're planning a "practice strike" on April 9.

Bills to let public school workers deduct union dues from their pay checks, prevent wage freezes during negotiations, and expand topics available for bargaining were signed into Michigan law this week.

The bill, which would repeal Michigan's "Right-to-Work" law and reinstate a policy to require government contracts to pay union-level wages, cleared the state House on Wednesday.
