As if it doesnt cost enough already unions are mobilizing to unionize every sector of the health care industry as they possibly can
Realizing that their very survival is at stake, unions have looked to expand the nature, jurisdictional scope and geographic breadth of their organizing activities.
Traditional blue-collar labor unions (such as the Teamsters, United Food and Commercial Workers, the United Steelworkers, and the International Association of Machinists) seeking to stem the tide of membership losses, as well as more sophisticated service-sector unions (such as the Service Employees International Union, National Nurses United, and the California Nurses Association), are focusing their organizing efforts on hospitals and healthcare systems across the United States.
Healthcare is an attractive target, in part, because of the sheer number of jobs that it provides and projections for continued and rapid growth.
