Yes. As health care administrators, Essentia Health leaders are not experts in union campaigns and navigating the legal complexities associated with National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) law and procedures while making sure our colleagues get all the facts about unionization.

To be sure we comply with the law as we communicate all the facts about unionization and how it can affect our colleagues and the patients we care for, Essentia retained a consulting firm as well as qualified legal advisors to support our internal team. Our practice is no different from the external advisors hired by unions like the MNA to support the union’s business activities.
