If you elect the MNA to speak for you in collective bargaining, Essentia would always negotiate in good faith, but this doesn’t mean APPs would automatically get more of anything.

The union would speak for all APPs who are included in the bargaining unit in collective bargaining with Essentia. Individual leaders would lose the ability to deal directly with APPs as it relates to any changes in wages, benefits, shifts and other terms of employment. 

Regardless of union promises, through collective bargaining, wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment could go up, down or stay the same. If the MNA is elected, bargaining unit APPs would be expected to pay hundreds of dollars every year in union dues (or “representation fees”) even if an outcome of bargaining isn’t what APPs hoped for.
