I agree that unionization can help bring change, it allows nurses to stand together and present a united front in enacting change. Unionized nurses represent the interest of the nurses by negotiating the terms and condition of their employment and thereby influencing change in many aspects of the working relationship. They have the desire to obtain a better working condition for their members like higher pay, employment security, and improvement regarding hiring (Spetz, Ash, Konstantinidis & Herrera).
However, I do not think unionization is the best answer to reducing agency cost and preventing readmission. Readmission can lead to significant increase in cost. Therefore the unit needs to improve their standard of care, educate the patient
