Now unionized, the nurse who is accustomed to staying overtime to finish her charting and check on her clients has been told that she can no longer stay overtime to complete these tasks. The implications of staying behind without compensation for her time from the employer cannot be tolerated because this may set a precedent for how employees will stay and work voluntarily without pay. The nurse has been advised that if she has difficulty getting the work done during the shift to which she has been assigned, this should be documented and shown as a workload issue. Which of the following nurse responses looks at the negative side of unionization?

Option C suggests that the nurse is questioning her loss of autonomy or individual voice in decision-making since she is now part of a union. It doesn't reflect any benefit or positive outcome of unionization, unlike the other options. Option A is a normal reaction to the inability to earn more, but it doesn't necessarily mean she'll hate the union. Option B implies a lack of trust in the union and its ability to advocate for its members' rights, but this does not necessarily mean it is the negative side of unionization. Lastly, Option D is an individual problem with understanding the collective agreement, not a negative side of unionization.
