According to an employment law newsletter published by an Ohio law firm in February 2007, 1.2 million RNs do not belong to a nursing union. The majority of nurses do not belong to a nursing union. See http://www.bricker.com/publications/articles/1053.pdf. I am one of the 1.2 million RNs who don't belong to a nursing union.

What's your opinion? Will we see more RNs attempting to organize in the future? Do you think the interest in unions for RNs will wax and wane in the future?

What does the future hold for the nursing unions and national, state, and specialty nursing professional associations?
