HealthcareCompensation Management4HighNurse$ implied
Nurses at UNC Health and similar systems are forced into reverse-auction shift bidding that depresses wages and treats staff as contingent gig labor, undermining retention and care continuity.
Existing solutions prioritize cost reduction through lowest-bid mechanisms, eroding premium pay and nurse bargaining power without protecting compensation floors or staff retention.
