The MNA organizers have told APPs “Don’t talk to your leaders about the union issue.” This is common in union organizing campaigns – union organizers often want you to hear only one side of the story.
It’s critical that you know your rights and fully understand the realities of union representation. As an Essentia Health East Market APP, you have the right to:
- Learn the facts about unionization, including facts the union might not want you to know.
- Talk or refuse to talk about the union with co-workers in non-patient care areas (as long as these discussions do not interfere with your work or the work of others).
- Attend or decline invitations to union meetings (online or in-person).
- Attend or decline invitations to union social media groups.
- Talk with your manager, co-workers, and others about the union.
- Ask your manager or HR any questions you may have about the union. If your manager does not know the answer, they will find out for you or put you in contact with someone who does.
- Protect your privacy; you are not required to give the union your personal information.
It’s critical that you have all the facts before you make a decision. Please Vote No.
