they average over 70k a year...I can’t see many getting to worked up for their cause in this recession.
Every union member that goes on strike while under contract ought to be able to be fired when they don’t show up for work due to a strike. If they go on strike while not under contract, they ought to be fired as well.
Fire them all.
Unions, having destroyed manufacturing, are looking at one of the few remaining profitable industries in the US, and looking to leech off of that.
A friend in an intensive 2 1/2 year LPN nursing program reports that after covering in class the upcoming changes coming from Obama care, all of the liberal and leftist students are furious to find out they will still have to buy health care insurance.
I am a nurse so please allow me to opine.
Nurses are historically overworked and underpaid. However, nurses typically reap what they sow. backstabbing & infighting have allowed the labor unions to engage in class warfare & convince RNs that only a union can make their life better. I’ve worked in two unionized hospitals throughout my career & I can tell you, all the unions do is take $ from these nurses & expoit them. Usual story. A union is not the answer. Period. I could go on & on about this but you get my point. Unions are BS & I wish workers would wake up!
Good time to rid themselves of union nurses?
In my opinion, nurses should contract their services to hospitals as independent contractors. Trust me, everyone including patients would benefit from this. The free market would regulate and we’d get rid of the union thugs’ fingers in hospital business.
if they are not happy with the job, they should find another one. that’s the way a free market should work.
Fired!
If the nursing union can't show that there is a statistical correlation between lower staffing levels and risk to patients, it's because there is no such thing.
I know many nurses. Nurses get paid very well, and have very good benefits on average. Some of them work in stressful jobs, but they don’t have to unless they want to.
Them doing a walk-out just proves how utterly rediculous unions have become. These people only care about lining their pockets and nothing more.
Ok bye. Fire ‘em. Hire someone else.
Oh, and by the way. Any patient or patient’s family that suffers injury or loss because of this, PERSONALLY SUE the nurse that walked out and the union. PERSONALLY SUE.
