Hospitals and union elections.

This study examines union certification elections in hospitals from October 1994 to September 1997. Results indicate that union win rates were significantly higher in single-union elections and larger bargaining units. On the other hand, union win rates were significantly lower in church-related hospitals and hospitals that belonged to a health care system or had higher payroll costs. Unions also appeared to win elections at a higher rate in this period than in the past.

Union certification elections in nursing care facilities.

This empirical study examines 387 union certification elections conducted by the National Labor Relations Board in nursing care facilities (North American Industry Classification System 623) from January 1999 to December 2001. Unions won 60% of the elections. Service Employees International Union was involved in 42% of the elections. Bargaining unit size significantly impacted union victory. Unions had a better probability of winning elections in the northeast and midwest than in the south. Unlike other industries, American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations affiliated unions did not suffer a big labor image in nursing care facilities. Implications for union organizers and administrators of nursing care facilities are discussed.
