Court Order Prevents Nurses from Taking New Jobs in ‘At-Will’ State

 

This is totally outrageous and an example of how our freedoms are gone. The short story is that seven staff from at hospital A found higher-paying jobs at hospital B in an “at will” state. Hospital A had the chance to match the pay and did not, and instead sued for an injunction to prevent B from hiring the staff. And the Judge granted it!

Of course, Hospital A could well fire those people any time they want. But they reserve the right to not let them leave?

We are serfs.

    This is akin to an order telling you, out of the blue, that you cannot hang out with friend B because friend A does not want you too.

    They call those “gag orders”. Happens all the time too.

    Also, gag orders don’t happen because a friend does not want another friend to hang out with each other. 

    Also, I find most gag orders to be reprehensible. They are used to violate the rights of the weak.

    I would tell them , “they might be able to make me come to work, but they can’t force me to do my job.”

    Kind of like the post office? ;)

    Government Health Care

    The efficiency of the Post Office.

    The service of the DMV.

    And the compassion of the IRS.

    Another way to view it, a judge has temporarily (up to 90 days) prevented a huge healthcare company from hiring away an entire emergency care department from some small town provider. Walmart does stuff like that to mom-and-pop stores in small towns all over America.

    Uh no.

    If anything Theda Care is the bully in the area.

    The two systems are evenly matched, with TC having Theda Clark and Appleton Medical Center, and Ascension having St Elizabeths and Oshkosh Medical Center.

    All TC had to do was match the offer. Instead as is their tendency they ran to the lawyers. Now no one in the Fox Valley will get the care.

    Ascension Health had $27Billion in revenue for the previous year. I think ThedaCare had $527Million.

    In the Fox Valley they each have 2 hospitals. And Theda Care has the more upscale hospitals. Ste’s and Oshkosh have a much higher percentage of Medicaid and nopay patients.

    Even match in the Fox Valley. Each has 2 hospitals.

    Does not help any argument that what happened was right. 

    I am not advancing any argument that the order was “right”. There is no sense in arguing that.

    Bryan G. Stephens (View Comment):

    You seem to want to make excuse for it. It was wrong, rights were violated. Period. 

    No, I am explaining that “rights” are violated all the time. There is no remedy or recompense for these violations of “rights”. It seems that these are just a form of “tax” that have to be paid from time to time, because that is just the way life is in the patchwork of procedures we collectively call “government”.

    Bryan G. Stephens (View Comment):

    But you don’t seem to think that is any big deal. 

    I haven’t seen anything about this violation of “rights” to convince me that it deserves some form of extra consideration than any other violations of “rights.”

    They are used to violate the rights of the weak. 

    And to prevent the tainting of the jury pool. In order that a fair trial might be achieved in the future.

    And we hear the calls for universal healthcare getting louder.

    Thus making healthcare illegal.

    Universal Healthcare will make the current COVIDiocy look like wised and learned deliberations.

    That’s a laugh.

    The DAs in this nation use gag orders to stop defense talking while they say all they want.

    So you don’t think it was all that bad. You have demonstrated that. 

    I do.

    We can disagree.
