Virginia

in my area in Tennessee that was unionized, at least by nurses. They had a nurse:patient ratio of 1:4 which no other hospital in the area had. During my (very brief) time doing agency work I got called to work there a few times. So much better than other places! My two good friends worked there a lot and loved it.

OTOH, when I was interviewing for my very first job out of nursing school there, I was told that if I was even caught talking union, I would be immediately fired. Since Tennessee is a "right to slave" state, I assumed that was not illegal. I could be wrong about that but I don't think so. I never heard that anywhere else.
