The hospital I work at is nearing a validation vote. I am a full time RN there. There has been a long battle between the organization seeking to organize the RNs and the management of the hospital. For the past few months I have been at the head of the opposition to the union. Without going into deep detail here, I am not opposed to unions as a whole, nor even to the unionization of nurses when there is need. I just do not believe that the situation at my work place calls for it.
During my research on the internet I have noticed that most of the nursing organizations support unionization of nurses and are even calling for a national nurses union. I would like to hear what individuals have to say on the subject rather than the organizations. Any thoughts?
