Duluth, Minn – June 24, 2025 – Multiple groups of nurses, healthcare workers and Advanced Practice Providers at Essentia Health and Aspirus-St. Luke’s voted on Monday to authorize Unfair Labor Practice strikes at their facilities.  The votes follow months of negotiations in which the hospital corporation executives failed to bargain in good faith and failed to  meaningfully engage in an effort to find common solutions around enforceable measures to protect patient safety and improve nurse staffing levels, and in some cases refused to negotiate at all.

Duluth, MN – June 19, 2025 – Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) at Essentia Health are being forced to take unprecedented action. For nearly a year, 400 APPs—who include nurse practitioners, physician assistants, Certified Nurse Midwives, and clinical nurse specialists—have requested a seat at the bargaining table. Essentia Health has refused and instead responded with numerous illegal Unfair Labor Practices. 

As a result of these Unfair Labor Practices, Essentia’s East Market Advanced Practice Providers are now moving to authorize an Unfair Labor Practice strike vote. The vote will take place Monday, June 23rd.
