    In a statement to Arizona’s Family, Banner Health said its culture is one of its greatest strengths and that it would not allow a union organizing campaign, which it said is built on the concerns of a few, to define who the company is or how it cares for its people and patients.

    Yup. Sounds like they definitely need a union.

        Who are these fucking doctors to tell us how to treat patients?

    I’m generally extremely pro-union, but there are some exceptions, such as police unions. I’m concerned about the power a doctors union could weild. Something happened in South Korea that’s relevant. Doctors, or at least trainee doctors, in South Korea, went on strike in protest of the government increasing admission numbers to Korean medical schools. It sounded to me like they were protesting the training of more doctors than the norm, which doesn’t sound like a decent thing to protest imo.

      This type of uncorrelated extrapolation suggests you are not extremely pro-union
