title: Professional goals and industrial strategies: an international survey.
abstract: Although nurses are often uneasy about following industrial strategies, particularly strikes, such strategies can enhance nursing practice and protect the nurses' role in employment relationships. But to what extent can nurses actually include professional goals in their collective agreements? The following report of an exploratory survey of the professional outcomes of collective bargaining by nurses in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom provides baseline data for progress in this area.
