	Health Care
		Health care workers also are more likely to remain employed in the same occupation, due, in part, to the high level of education and training required for many health occupations.
		Employment in home health care and nursing and residential care should increase rapidly as life expectancies rise, and as aging children are less able to care for their parents and rely more on long-term care facilities.
		Health care establishments that must be staffed around the clock to care for patients and handle emergencies often pay premiums for overtime and weekend work, holidays, late shifts, and time spent on call.

	Service Employees International Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main divisions are health care (around 50% of the union's membership, including hospital, home care and nursing home workers), public services (government employees), and property services (including janitors and security officers).
		In 1995, SEIU President John Sweeney was elected president of the AFL-CIO, the labor federation that serves as an umbrella organization for unions.
		In 2003, SEIU was a founding member of the New Unity Partnership, an organization of unions which pushed for reforms at the national level, and most importantly, a greater commitment to organizing unorganized workers into unions.

		The Union proposed that instead of implementing Hoff- man's offer retroactive to January 1, 1988, as he had sug- gested, the increase be made effective later and the per- centage increases be raised from 6 percent and 3 percent.
		King tes- tified that the Union held a second ratification meeting and that she told the employees that, "I had presented the wrong offer to them," because she was "rushed" and "sloppy." I note that Debra King did not testify that she told the employees that Hoffman had misled her about the offer he made.
		The Union should be held to the representations made by its negotiator that the employees agreed to the contract and Lenox Hill should be able to rely on the bargain it made.

		Employee Ina Lawrence corroborated Peters as to the arrangements to deliver the bargaining letter in which she also participated, her initial wait with Lewis in the lobby, her commencing work by shift start at 3 p.m.

	Section 9 - IX. Summary and Explanation of the Standard
		Hospitals: There is almost universal agreement that healthcare workers, such as nurses and physicians, who are employed in hospitals, provide patient care, and have occupational exposure are at risk for infection by bloodborne pathogens.
		Employees of state and local governments, including those employed in public hospitals and health clinics, in states without state occupational safety and health plans are not covered by OSHA regulations.
		Because the term "employee's duties" implies the performance of duties that are part of the employee's job description, the second sentence adds nothing by stating that exposure incidents not incurred by a worker in the normal course of his or her employment are not considered occupational.
