  • Title: [Collective bargaining and trade unions in nursing].
    Author: de Villiers L.
    Journal: Nurs RSA; 1993 Feb; 8(2):37-8. PubMed ID: 8510725.
    Abstract:
    Nurses are apparently striving towards collective bargaining in order to meet their professional and personal needs. The reasons might be rapid social change and dissatisfaction with values and norms imposed on them. Although the nursing profession has been represented by a professional association since 1914, interest in labour unions is increasing. Various factors, such as administrative practices, support the interest in labour unions. Although labour unions promise a utopia to potential members, membership leads to advantages and disadvantages both for the profession and the individual.
