Doctors say they want patients' needs prioritized, more input in decision-making, better benefits, and less corporate influence.
ChristianaCare doctors in Delaware look to unionize, citing need for better benefitsChristianaCare physicians in Delaware have filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board to form a union.
However, doctors say their goal is better patient care and outcomes, which they believe are being negatively affected by current conditions. Doctors say they want patients' needs prioritized, more input in decision-making, better benefits, and less corporate influence. "I personally have felt in my five years as an attending physician, and my colleagues that have been in it for decades, they've seen that their voice has been lost with the corporatization of medicine, of private equity firms coming in and buying hospitals," echoed Dr. Ryklin.
If efforts to unionize are successful, physicians at ChristianaCare Christiana Hospital in Newark, the Wilmington Hospital, and Middletown ER would all be covered.
