leadership response

Diss 1

First i ask myself what does collect bargaining mean? as i was doing my reading for this week and some research i found that it means on page 251 the process whereby workers organize under the representation of a union in order to share a degree of power with management to determine selected aspects of the conditions of employment. Then i ask myself how does it effect me as a upcoming nurse or a nurse in the healthcare field? it effects me in many ways i can use being apart of a union to get my concerns addressing and maybe answered such as pay, hours, better benefits, more sick days and paid vacations. Collective bargaining can help you build that relationship and respect between you and your employer and also contribute to stable and productive labor relations. I ask how it effects the patient, i believe they are the most important part of this process if it wasn't for the patients we wouldn't have a union. it affects the patients in many ways such as getting the adequate time/ care from the physicians , less medical errors. One thing that i read was having a positive work place makes it better for the patient and the staff.

In my personal opinion, these are great tools for the nurses. Having a Union to represent you in a disagreement that your employer may not understand is of great value. When a group of nurses come together to resolve a common issue and have a union representing them for a collecting bargain is an organized way of hospitals diffusing the fight over power. Sometimes when you go to a nursing supervisor or a manager they are too busy with their own agendas that a recommendation by a nurse may be overlooked. Or having nurses worked short staffed may be working for the nursing manager but not for the actual nurses working the floor. 

Having a Union has helped the Nursing profession a great deal because nurses are able to strike and do as they see fit in order to have their employers see their passion without being reprimanded or fired for voicing their opinions. Collective bargaining is the organized way of coming to an agreement. It will not really impact the patient because the Union provides a 10 day letter stating when or where the strike will take place so that the hospital can make prior arrangements to have staff for the patients therefore keeping patients safe at all times
