Doctors have the same obstacles to unionization that lawyers have, mainly ethical. Without the ability to strike, unionization is toothless. A lawyer cannot put his interests above his clients' and leave them without representation by striking, especially litigators who usually have heavy caseloads with demanding deadline schedules. It would be an ethical nightmare for physicians, too. Can you imagine doctors walking out of an ER? "Sorry you might die, I need an extra $1.50 per hour in my salary and better benefits."

I’m pretty sure nurses already have unions.
Neighbor across the street is a union nurse. Several hospitals in this area have had nurse strikes in the past. I have no idea what % is unionized, but I suspect most large organizations are.
