Wage Disparity and Unrest at Twin Oaks Hospital

The fundamental and underlying issues

The situation at the Twin Oaks Hospital is a conundrum that every human resource function would not like to be involved.

The implication is that even if the management is to find a ground, it is likely to be a partially binding since some people will oppose it while others will support it. That is a variable that serves to complicate an already complicated
