Vacancy on Our Executive Board

One of our elected Trustees has stepped down. The procedure for when that happens is anyone who wants to apply to fill out the remainder of their term (which would be for 2 and a half years) can apply, and the local union's Executive Board selects one of the candidates. If you're interested in being one of our Trustees, fill out the application linked here, and get it to our office by 5pm on Monday, Sept. 16 (you can email it to [email protected] or drop it off at Room 206 of the Duluth Labor Temple). FYI, trustees get together at least quarterly to audit our books and they also get to attend and vote at our monthly Executive Board meetings. It comes with a monthly stipend of $75.

Essentia Found Guilty of Health & Safety Violations

Essentia Health recently was found guilty of half a dozen health & safety violations by OSHA (the federal Department of Labor’s Occupational Health & Safety Administration). Each violation came with a fine of several thousand dollars, concrete remedies and a notice that the company has to post. The notices have been posted by Essentia in the basement of the 3rd Street Clinic. They are in the SW hallway that leads to the abandoned laundry chute closet and the boiler room. Feel free to swing down there and take a look at them, or we are posting copies of them below.
