I have no problem with workers organizing (I didn’t think anyone here on FR would); at the same time they should be aware that they’re just guaranteeing another unflux of imported “nurses” that nobody can understand will be brought in to replace them (as has happened to tech workers, accountants, and such).
I’m not a communist, but American workers of all stripes are getting screwed by our government/corporations (they’re one & the same); with the exception of civil servants (for whom I am an involuntary client to be squeezed to death), I wish all Americans could bargain for a better standard of living than we’re being told to accept.
I'll take care of myself thank you. Bargaining is for incompetent whiners.
My insurance premiums have more than doubled in the last ten years. The quality of medical care provided has not.
Perhaps if the nurses were paid less, and the janitorial staff paid more, helpless patients would contract fewer deadly diseases from hospitals.
American workers of all stripes have been screwing their employers and customers for years, because they bought into a fictitious entitlement mentallity.
God bless the dedicated Certified Nursing Assistants, LPNs and RPNs and PAs who still do their best everyday!
If only they would band together and refuse to tolerate their substandard,unprofessional peers, both their standard of life, and that of their patients, would be greatly enhanced.
>> I wish all Americans could bargain
What percentage of nurses in the strike pool can bargain their way out of the strike without intimidation, humiliation, threats?
None.
