I don't mind them unionizing I hate that the government forces companies to recognize and deal with the union

Nursing is a skilled occupation. I have no issues with them becoming unionized given the circumstances.

I can’t help but laugh watching the baristas and third grade teachers wanting to unionize though. FOH

So basically you dont work as a nurse (neither do I) but think you know everything about their issues.

I don’t know everything about anything. These nurses aired their grievances and I believe them. You don’t. Or you think their grievances don’t matter. Either way, you’re being awfully arrogant without any valid reason to be.

You appear to support only female dominated professions and want them unionized. You have no faith in women.

Tell yourself whatever you want. I support all groups of Americans organizing for change, including the J6 people. I also supported the hoppers in New Orleans when they went on strike during covid. Organizing/protesting is the most American thing a person can do.

Its usually determined by market forces.

Go take an online Macro and Micro economics class. You'll be enlightened.

Wages are not arbitrarily set.

So just any issue makes me very American?

You believe you’re qualified to assess every situation and make the final determination of its merit. Fortunately, literally no one else agrees with you.

All of them if you are writing decision support software for EMRs. Example: sure, it's fine to give that patient MRI contrast with a Creatinine of 5.0 or a GFR of <20 (I might have made that part up).
