Y'all, I'm not gonna take it out of solidarity, but DAMN that's a lot of cash.

You’re on the side of the c-suite

Absolute bullshit.

Healthcare isn't the same as building cars or picking up trash. You can't take the exact attitude of a striking blue collar union and apply it to hospitals. Someone has to work or there are real human costs to pay. Healthcare will be impaired, human lives will be impaired.

That's all part of why the nurses need to strike, by the way. Running healthcare at over capacity with minimum staffing is exactly why we're so miserable. But it's also why there's really no room to shut down so called 'elective' procedures, let alone acute care beds.

And I'm getting real tired of people pissing about maintaining the "elective procedures" that drive hospital profits on these strike threads. Because people rant as if we're talking about nothing but ass lifts and chin tucks. Most 'elective' procedures are real fucking healthcare that shouldn't have to wait. I want you to strike, but I still want those horrible awful scabs there for people to get their knee scopes and pacemaker replacements. Sorry it helps the hospital hold out a little better, but not sorry enough to say the patients should just piss off and wait.
