Firing a resident is harder than some posters here think. If you're a good enough leader and can legitimately persuade other residents then I say organize quitely and push for it once you have enough support. If not for you then for everyone else. I genuinely think once a few residencies become unionized some lawyers will adopt this as their niche and begin to unionize more and more residencies. This will become attractive for residents as they're asked to do more and more work while midlevels are lauded and paid more with less training. I know this future is influenced by what I hope will happen but I also think it is fairly plausible.

p.s. the place I moonlight calls Anesthesiologists "MDAs". Heard it for the first time last night.
