We value our ability to work directly with our nurse colleagues. In our opinion, MNA representation brings undesirable risks associated with collective bargaining (i.e., potential conflict, lost flexibility, seniority-based decisions, etc.). We prefer to collaborate directly with our nurse colleagues to be the best we can be. In addition, we’ve seen the MNA call Essentia nurses out on strike. In our view, healthcare strikes are disruptive and put patients and communities at risk.
