The relationship between union membership and self-rated health among racially diverse U.S. healthcare workers: The role of control over work schedules and locations

This study provides empirical evidence of the relationship between labor union membership and health among U.S. healthcare workers. We demonstrate that control over schedules and location is an important mechanism by which unionization may protect healthcare workers' health. Among racially diverse healthcare workers, labor unions may play an important role in health through various pathways beyond workplace control.
