Individual and collective bargaining is the formal process between management and labor representatives to negotiate wages and employment conditions. It aims to avoid legal disputes and promote harmonious relationships. However, improved wages and conditions can increase prices, affecting consumers. The process may also not always be fair due to influences like power and politics. Collective bargaining in nursing is controversial, as some see it as unprofessional while others see it as necessary for practice control and economic security. Grievances in employment can be addressed through collective bargaining agreements and grievance procedures outlined in contracts.

Individual and Collective
Bargaining Individual and Collective Bargaining
It is the formalized decision making process
between representatives of management and representatives of labor to negotiate wages and conditions of employment, including work hours, working environment, and fringe benefits of employment( e.g., vacation time, sick leave and personal leave). Advantages
• It avoids unnecessary legal proceedings and the
issue is sorted out of the Court. • It promotes worker’s democracy and worker’s participation in management. • It helps in establishing harmonious relationship between employee and the employer. • It emphasizes on the interests and benefits of both parties. • It eliminates unnecessary expenditure and avoids bitterness among involved parties. Disadvantages • Increased wages and improved facilities for workers will indirectly result in high prices for goods and services. • Consumers are affected badly due to price rise. • The collective bargaining process may not be fair at all times; the decision is often influenced by power and politics. • In case of failure of the collective bargaining agreement, the immediate consequence is strike or lock-out. Collective Bargaining • Through a written agreement, both employer and employees legally commit themselves to observe the terms and conditions of employment. • Collective bargaining is a controversial issue among nurses. Collective Bargaining
• Some nurses consider collective bargaining to be
unprofessional and contrary to the nature of nursing. • Others argue that collective bargaining is necessary to obtain control of nursing practice and economic security. Collective Bargaining • The collective bargaining process involves the recognition of a certified bargaining agent for the employees. • The agent can be a union, a trade association, or a professional organization. Collective Bargaining
• Because nursing practice is a service to people
(often ill people), striking presents a moral dilemma to many nurses • Actions taken by nurses can affect the safety of the people • When faced with a strike, each nurse must make an individual decision to cross or not to cross a picket line. Collective Bargaining
• Nursing students may also be faced with
decisions about crossing picket lines in the event of a strike at a clinical agency used for learning experiences • The ANA supports striking as a means of achieving economic and general welfare. Collective Bargaining
• Collective bargaining is more than the negotiating of
salary terms and hours of work; it is a continuous process in which day to day working problems and relationships can be handled in orderly and democratic manner • Day to day difficulties or grievances are handled through the grievance procedure, a formal plan established in the contract that outlines the channels for handling and settling grievances through progressively higher levels of administration. Collective Bargaining A grievance is any dispute, difference , controversy or disagreement arising out of the terms and conditions of employment.

• In India, nurses are not given their due
recognition and are often deprived of their legal rights at the workplace and in the society. Some main problems suffered by nurses in India include: – difficult working conditions – low salary – slow promotion opportunities – lack of job security and related benefits – increased risk of sexual harassment at the workplace • Study by Sreelekha Nair and Madelaine Healey on “A Profession on the Margins: Status Issues in Indian Nursing” provides shocking information on the status of nurses in India. The study indicates that sexual harassment is an unavoidable experience for nurses. • The study states that this happens to nurses not only at the hands of superiors and doctors but by ward boys, relatives of patients and other subordinate male workers in the health care system. • The study states that nurses on night shifts are most vulnerable to such threats. • A more popular organization is the Delhi Nurses Union, which has used collective bargaining techniques to assert legal rights and push strongly for several initiatives including changing the short nursing uniforms to salwar kameez and saree.

• Clinical scenarios can be displayed in this virtual
world allowing students and nurses to learn new skills and to revise the skills which they have already learned. • Online continuing education and formal education may continue as a trend in the near future • Telehealth/Telemedicine • Nurses will be able to request medications via a mobile phone text message sent to robots which will then retrieve and dispatch the medications via a network of pneumatic tubes, with a text message returned to the nurse when the medication has arrived.
• Robotics-Some of the hospitals use them for
delivery of supplies and even trays Other features include more single-bed rooms, wider corridors in anticipation of robots transporting linen and food to wards in the near future. Telemedicine Meaning
