What types of organizing activities are permissible in a hospital?
The National Labor Relations Board has stated that nurses have a right to engage in union solicitation during their free time while at work, provided that such activities are conducted outside of patient care areas and are consistent with solicitation opportunities afforded other organizations. There are, therefore, three limitations on union solicitation during the workday: the time during the day when such activities may be conducted; the locations within the hospital; and conformity with solicitation opportunities afforded other organizations.
