Subsequent Shortages
According to Flanagan (1986), "by the early 1960s, nurses in SNA local units were successfully negotiating provisions for shortened hours of work, salary increases, shift differentials, shift rotation, overtime, length-of-service increments, sick leave, health benefits, retirement plans, grievance procedures, Social Security coverage, and more" (p. 16). Nevertheless, by the mid-1960s a critical shortage of nurses attributed to economic exploitations was occurring once again, which prompted the ANA in 1966 to adopt the Resolution on National Salary Goal.
