Essentia & St. Luke's are Mandating the COVID-19 Vaccine

Essentia Health notified us on August 4 that they were going to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine to all of its workers.  Wed found out later that same day that St. Luke's sent out an announcement to their workers that they too were going to be mandating the vaccine.

Our union is sending both employers a demand to bargain over this, and we will keep you posted what happens and what we learn as soon as we know more.
