The bioethics literature on collective labor protest actions by health professionals is modest and recent, focusing almost exclusively on strike actions—although that is beginning to change. The essays in this special section of the Cambridge Quarterly seek to further explore many of the key ethical issues in some detail. The authors analyze existing ethical tensions and propose responses (none presume to call them solutions) to the increasingly hostile conflicts between licensed health professionals and the new corporate management of healthcare organizations.
