While the union was distributing cards for the nurses to indicate their desire for a representation election, several of the charge nurses participated in the union’s meetings and decided they wanted to join. Some of these charge nurses also encouraged nurses who reported to them to support the union as well One month before the election, the hospital discovered that charge nurses had supported the union even though their positions in the organization qualified them as supervisors. The charge nurses stopped advocating for the union, and some even encouraged nonsupervisory nurses to vote against representation. The election went ahead, and the union won representation The hospital challenged the election because of the pro-union activity by the nurses. However, the NLRB and the court both upheld the union. Questions 1. Why would an organization care whether its supervisors speak in favor of or against union representation? 2. How could the hospital in this example have prepared its supervisors so they would have understood their proper role during the organizing campaign?

Summary of the case
The case presents a scenario in which a Californian hospital failed to enlighten their
charge nurses holding the position of nursing supervisor about their roles as charge nurses. In the
event, the charges nurses participated in the union representation elections and influenced other
employees to support the union. The charge nurses did not understand their role as nursing
supervisors and this lead to them gaining interest to join union representation something that was
detrimental to the hospital
Discussion
Why would an organization care whether its supervisors speak in favor of or against union
representation? Explain and justify your answer.
Often, organizations do not want to be part of a union because unions are always seen as
