Abstract
Transformations in health care and attendant social work responses have eroded a health-care social work role grounded in holism and social justice. Tracing events at the intersection of social work, the labor movement, and health-care provision, this paper examines the evolution of social work's gravitation to micro-level practice and professionalism at the expense of macro practice, including labor organizing. It argues that engagement between health-care social work and labor unions is mutually beneficial and indispensable in preserving a role that reflects social work values in the face of massive socioeconomic inequality and health-care corporatization.
