Month: October 2022

First let me say I am pro-union and have no problem taking absurds amount of money being charged to a Healthcare company while its workers negotiate for a better life. I work in pharmacy departments in CA and will be starting a new [side] job soon with a 3rd party company filling positions while workers strike. Obviously the hospital can't pay my wages forever. [Not mentioning patients because I shouldn't have to] I see this escalating long term over various health care systems over the next 5 months. My questions are 1) how can I make things worse for the company while not hurting myself, or The strikers leverage (like picking up massive OT???). 2) try to make the strikes last slightly longer [obvious reasons for myself, DAYS not months] and 3) just general advice from any healthcare workers who have gone through this.

Hi everyone, my girlfriend (we live in Florida) is in college and works as a waitress. It’s worth noting that she lives with her parents and has plenty of money saved up (plus I work and could help her out in an emergency) so money is not a concern here, so if she wanted to quit and find another job she could easily do so without any issue. When she was first hired, she was told that they just needed somebody to be on-call. She went in her first week for training, and once her training was done, she expected to shift over to just being on-call, but instead she was scheduled for several days. She’s typically scheduled to work at least 3 days of the week, and is on-call for 1 or 2 more. However, her workplace is short-staffed and any day she is on call there’s a 90%…
