Are Nurses Strikes Legal in the US? 

In the United States, the legality of a nursing strike depends on whether the nurses are part of a recognized union. For unionized nurses, legal protections are often in place, and striking is typically seen as a last resort. However, state laws can add additional layers to this issue, and it is essential to be aware of local regulations. 

What About in Non-Union States? 

The scenario changes for nurses working in non-union or “right-to-work” states. Without the protection of a union, the law may not be on your side if you decide to strike. There could be severe consequences, including loss of employment and potential legal action for negligence.
