In healthcare organizing, hospitals and unions must grapple with unit composition questions under the NLRB's "heathcare rule," which provides the regulatory standard to determine the scope of appropriate bargaining units in acute care hospitals. Many questions arise – ranging from what is the definition of an acute care hospital, what is an appropriate bargaining unit and which positions fall into what bargaining unit, to whether potential exceptions to the healthcare rule apply. Elections are often won or lost through determining appropriate bargaining unit composition.

In this webinar, we will break down when and if the healthcare rule applies to various facilities and the composition of various units, as well as whether and where “micro unit" risks exist under American Steel Construction. For healthcare facilities big or small, independent hospitals and healthcare systems, these are all important considerations to understand and prepare for before you are faced with a representation petition or voluntary recognition request.
