Abstract

This is a study of the unionization of physicians. This article will examine the factors that have affected the medical profession encouraging doctors to do something that was unheard of fifty years ago--to unionize. This article describes the societal changes that have encouraged doctor unionization, analyzes the legal overlay, examines the extent of doctor unionization, and makes a number of projections about the future.
