Nurses Realized Need For Power
The issue of minimum salaries for nurses was reported to the annual bargaining consultation of the AARN and the AHA as an issue of urgency to nurses. The AARN threatened to take its case to the Minister of Trade and Industry, but the AHA met the threat by making no recommendation to the employers regarding a minimum salary for nurses. This was one of many experiences that began to indicate the powerlessness of nurses in the process of setting wages and working conditions.
