The turnout at the City Council meeting was to alert the public as to what Essentia is doing, and to specifically ask City Councilors to sign on to a letter of support for the union. Essentia's new billion dollar hospital was largely built with public money. And the City of Duluth lobbied hard at the state legislature for Essentia to get that money. The workers argued that at the very least that should buy some sort of neutrality from Essentia, instead of them aggressively trying to prevent their Advance Practitioners from having a collective voice.
We urge our readers to support the Minnesota Nurses Association and stay tuned for ways that you can support these workers in the weeks ahead. We also encourage you to follow the MNA website and social media directly. GO UNION!
