Abstract: | Recent changes in the National Labor Relations Act have increased the possibility that union coverage will expand among private
non-profit hospitals. This study examines the success of union organizing efforts in the industry during the 1974–1978 period.
The analysis focuses on the influence of environmental and organizational variables as well as the nature of the election
process itself. The results suggest that hospital union success is largely dependent uponprior union success in the hospital (+), voter turnout (−) and unit size (−). The annual rate of election victories is predicted
to fall to nearly 25 % by 1983 from an average of 50% in the 1974–1978 period. |
