    • Physician bargaining encompasses wages, hours, working conditions, and patient care quality.
    • Specific issues for housestaff include meals, housing, and on-call rooms; for staff physicians, tenure, pensions, and benefits.
    • Impasse is a likely outcome due to the complexity of physician-hospital bargaining.

    Conclusions:

    • Physician strikes' propriety depends on grievance nature, patient care impact, and available alternatives.
    • Strikes may be justified for patient care issues, even if personal gain is involved.
    • The shift from private practice to employment necessitates collective bargaining for professional and economic concerns.
