Q: Would Essentia Health ambulatory clinic nurses automatically get any of the contract provisions contained in the contract covering acute care nurses in the main hospital?

No. Nurses working at any Essentia Health ambulatory clinic would not automatically get anything different or better simply as a result of electing the union. Changes to terms and conditions of employment may only come as a result of the give-and-take process of collective bargaining. If nurses at any Essentia ambulatory clinic elect the MNA, then Essentia and the MNA would bargain a separate new contract for the new bargaining unit of nurses at that clinic.
