    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Labor Relations
    • Nursing Studies

    Background:

    • Alberta's nurses (United Nurses of Alberta) had a history of militancy.
    • Four province-wide strikes occurred between 1977 and 1988.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the primary causes of three major nursing labor disputes in Alberta.
    • To examine the roles of union ideology, economic factors, and public sector bargaining structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Case study analysis of the first three province-wide nursing strikes (1977-1988).
    • Examination of interorganizational relationships between the United Nurses of Alberta, Alberta Hospital Association, and the provincial government.

    Main Results:

    • Labor disputes were driven by union ideology, economic factors, and public sector bargaining constraints.

  • Interorganizational dynamics among key stakeholders significantly contributed to the strikes.
  • While economic issues were central, demands concerning working women and management prerogatives were critical impasses.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study identifies multifaceted causes for nursing strikes in Alberta.
    • Understanding these factors is crucial for effective healthcare labor relations and policy development.
