It could be an excellent time to give a little more consideration to unions and your facility. The Service Employees Union recently said it was sprouting a new healthcare offshoot. And this week, congressmen introduced a bill that would make it easier for unions to organize at facilities.

To learn more about the labor situation and how it could affect you, register for the free March 14 McKnight’s Online Expo session on it. Attorney Stephen J. Cabot, one of the foremost labor-management relations experts in the country, will provide perspective on recent union news events during the interactive education session. He also will give advice about what providers can do to help make the workplace more employee-friendly.

The McKnight’s Expo runs March 14-15 and is the first of its kind. Besides attending education sessions, participants can explore online booths from industry vendors and find new educational resources. Registration for all events is free and can be completed at http://events.unisfair.com/rt/mcknight.
