In this episode, we explore the growing movement of unionizing in healthcare and how it’s transforming working conditions for nurses, doctors, and healthcare staff. We’ll dive into the benefits of unions, scare tactics used to ward off unionizing, the legal process of starting one, a few stories of those who were wrongfully terminated for unionizing, and how we can utilize our union to better the profession.

Whether you're a nurse, doctor, or healthcare professional, this episode will provide valuable insights into why union membership matters and how you can get involved in the movement to protect healthcare workers’ rights.
