For far too long, the healthcare industry has ignored the needs of nurses. During their work lives, nurses at non-union hospitals are at the beck and call of the hospital 24 hours a day. At non-union hospitals, nurses have been forced to work mandatory overtime, even when they are so exhausted that patient care could suffer. When nurses from many non-union hospitals face retirement years, there is no pension plan. After nurses spend their entire work lives caring for others, when they retire from non-union hospitals, nurses are unable to afford adequate medical care themselves.
