This Boston Globe article suggests that Wednesday's settlement is only the beginning for 1199's organizing in New England, and takes us inside the heads of anti-union hospital executives and behind the closed doors of union-busting law firms.

An SEIU local in Massachusetts with about 12,000 members voted to merge
with the New York organization last year, setting the stage for a major drive in
Boston, where the healthcare industry is the biggest employer.
A Boston law
firm, Mintz Levin Cohen Ferris Glovsky and Popeo, recently hosted a closed-door
meeting to warn several dozen hospital officials about the union's
tactics.
''This is not the traditional labor-management battle. It is a
totally different landscape," said Donald W. Schroeder, a member of the labor
and benefits group at Mintz Levin's Boston office.
Next month, the
Massachusetts Hospital Association is planning to discuss ways to counter the
union's efforts. And an April 4 conference in Cambridge planned by Dietz
Associates, a Kennebunk, Maine, human resources firm specializing in employee
communications, is expected to attract about 40 officials from New England
hospitals.
