Advanced Practice Providers, nurses, and other healthcare workers at Essentia facilities across northern Minnesota spent several weeks on an Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) strike in order to pressure Essentia Health to come to the table and bargain in good faith as they fight for first contracts.
While the current strike may be over, healthcare workers still need your help! Here’s how you can support them as they continue their fight:
- Donate to the MNA Strike Fund: Donate to the Strike Fund here
