The instructor would recognize that further clarification is needed if a student responded that
whistle-blowing was a factor that leads to unionization among nurses. Some reasons that contribute to
nurses wanting to unionize are job stress, unsafe work environment, feeling powerless, the physical
demands of the job, and the need to communicate concerns and/or complaints to management without
fear of losing their jobs. Whistle-blowing is the act in which an individual discloses information
regarding a violation of a law, rule, regulation, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or
safety.
