  1. A general consensus within the organization to consider unionization

Answer to Question 1

4
Explanation: 1. Registered nurses employed as staff nurses are eligible for collective bargaining, but nurses
who are employed as managers are not eligible.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 1. For the National Labor Relations Board to consider labor negotiations, an election must occur
in which the union must demonstrate an interest of 30 percent of the employees. Most
employees are interested in higher wages and benefits but this does not elicit an election to
determine unionization.
