Chicago hospital's residents win OK for union

After three years of legal wrangling with the Chicago area's largest healthcare system, medical residents at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital have won the right to belong to a union. A union representative says that the ruling could assist medical residents interested in forming a union to improve pay, benefits and working conditions at private hospitals nationwide.

I work at an advocate hospital and a few months back all employees were sent a letter about how advocate was against unions for employees own good and how unions are bad.
