30 Editorial Index 2019
We publish so many great articles over the course
of a year that it's hard to remember everything we
covered. How many different hospitals did nurses
unionize? Was the big master contract settled in
spring or summer? Find those stories and more
in our annual editorial index. (Hint: You can find
newly unionized facilities under "organizing"
and all contracts under "bargaining.")

RNs celebrated a historic victory when they

place violence among health care and social
service workers, through the U.S. House of
Representatives with bipartisan support.
