Neurosurgical faculty and resident perspectives on collective bargaining efforts by resident physicians in the United States
The findings revealed a divide between the opinions of trainees and faculty about trainee unionization. Trainees favored resident unionization, while faculty opposed it, highlighting the need for further dialogue to understand the impact of unions on residency training and promote optimal training environments in both unionized and nonunionized environments.
