A controversy frequently encountered when considering the role of unions in organizations providing services related to health is whether it is appropriate for professionals to organize unions. This controversy arises almost every time a group of healthcare professionals is approached by a union. Common examples include registered nurses, medical technologists, physical therapists, and physicians. Write an essay that supports or refutes (your choice) unions in organizations that are involved in activities that are related to individual or public health.
Points to consider:
Responses should include numerous individual opinions either for or against unions in organizations.
Whichever you choose to address, your ideas should be supported by substantial rationales.
