Health Care Superv. 1995 Jun;13(4):13-7.
This past year, the Supreme Court significantly changed the rules regarding whether nurses are entitled to unionize, strike, and engage in other concerted activities under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Health care employers may now lawfully deny NLRA rights to any nurse that assigns or responsibly directs the work of other employees in a manner that requires the use of independent judgment. Accordingly, health care employers will need to revise their labor relations policies and implement well-informed litigation strategies for defending their decision making in light of the Supreme Court's ruling.
在过去的一年里，美国最高法院大幅改变了关于护士是否有权根据《国家劳动关系法》（NLRA）组建工会、罢工并参与其他协同活动的规定。现在，医疗保健雇主可以合法地剥夺任何以需要运用独立判断力的方式分配或负责指导其他员工工作的护士的NLRA权利。因此，鉴于最高法院的裁决，医疗保健雇主将需要修订其劳动关系政策，并实施明智的诉讼策略来捍卫其决策。
