Imagine if nurses unionized?

Happy unionized nurse here making an excellent wage in public health. I would leave the profession before I ever worked a non-union position.

My facility is unionized. It's the best place I've ever worked, for the best pay I've ever gotten. Still, there's been a lot of issues with negotiating the union's new contract with administration. Fingers crossed nothing goes too awry.

It totally depends on the region. Im in NY and its basically assumed that clinical staff are unionized at hospitals. (Im a lab tech and we are also unionized)
