Labor relations: an update.
Preventive labor relations training for managers and supervisors is vital today. Management must take the necessary steps to prepare its leadership to face the reality of hospitals being a prime organization target in the 1990s. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling will undoubtedly result in increased union activity as was experienced following the enactment of the 1974 healthcare amendments. Because of the rapid changes taking place within the healthcare industry and these new bargaining unit rules, hospitals will be targeted by unions. Management must be prepared in order to remain union free. Employee opinion surveys and preventive labor relations training for managers and supervisors are positive steps to be considered for a union-free workplace.
