Join host Nicholas O. Biasotto, DO, with two special guests from ChristianaCare: Bryan Haimes, MD, MPH, Internal Medicine Hospitalist and Pediatrician and Amber Higgins, MD, Emergency Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology physician: Together they played a pivotal role in forming the first and largest private attending, multi-specialty physicians union in the country.
In this episode, we explore what led to this historic move — from overcrowded emergency rooms and long wait times for inpatient beds to top-down decision-making that left physicians feeling unheard. We’ll also touch on the American Medical Association’s stance on unionization.
What does collective bargaining look like in medicine? What happens when negotiations stall? You’ll learn about key terms like “Bad Faith Bargaining” and the “Union Security Clause”, and how unionization is being used as a strategy to unify physician voices and advocate for change. — ultimately aimed at improving the physician workforce and delivering better patient care. This is an eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss. Let’s get into it!
