Unions are becoming more attractive to nurses who feel increasingly unappreciated and disenfranchised from the decisionmaking process. But unions can cause big headaches for management and the board. The best way to keep unions off your doorstep is to listen to what your nurses want.

An increasing number of organizations are addressing the issue of trade union recognition, particularly NHS trusts considering introducing local pay determination. Burnley NHS Trust developed a strategic approach to the issue, establishing pre-determined outcomes and measurable criteria to determine which organizations--if any--would have recognition extended for the purpose of local pay determination. The staff side case is examined in detail along with three other options: a staff association, recognition for some and recognition for none. Four organizations--representing 95 per cent of the unionized workforce--accepted recognition, with safeguards for 14 others.
This study contains estimates of wage equations for white male union and nonunion employees. The authors find that nonunion wages are generally more responsive than union wages to individuals' education and experience and to regional price-level variation. Despite those differences, however, estimates of union-nonunion wage differentials based on these separate equations do not differ greatly from a differential obtained from a union dummy variable in an equation based on combined union and nonunion observations. Union-nonunion differentials vary widely across occupational groups and are generally larger in the lower skilled and more highly unionized occupations. The results for manufacturing, for which additional industry data are available, indicate a negative impact of high concentration ratios on the wages of all workers and a greater impact of establishment size on nonunion than on union wages. Data were drawn from the May 1973 Current Population Survey.

When data from NLRB-conducted hospital elections since 1974 are placed in several environmental, hospital-related, and election-related categories, variations in outcome exist. Although the data do not explain why variations in unions' success occur, they show that the patterns are not random.
