This is beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wisconsin is a right-to-work state (thank you, Scott Walker), meaning anybody can be fired for any reason (few exceptions) without explanation, notice, or recourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, back in January 2022 a hospital system in Wisconsin (Hospital #Dumb) lost a high number of employees to a local competitor (Hospital #Yes) \u2026 better pay, better benefits, better work\/life balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rather than match the offers from Hospital #Yes, Hospital #Dumb waits until a few days before its former employees are set to leave and files suit to prevent its former employees from starting work at Hospital #Yes, getting the judge to approve an injunction (former employees can\u2019t become new employees) so Hospital #Dumb prevents former employees from starting work at Hospital #Yes and those selfsame employees have quit\/don\u2019t want to work for Hospital #Dumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hospital #Dumb argues that patient care will be impacted if former employees go work for Hospital #Yes \u2026 but they no longer work for Hospital #Dumb, can\u2019t work for Hospital #Yes, so patient care is impacted anyway \u2026 soooo \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the judge signed off on this mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The injunction was issued on a Friday, lifted on Monday, but the beauty\/beast is that a big employer got hit square in the face with the impact of the free market coupled with right-to-work employment that actually benefitted employees\/laborers\/ah-hem<\/em> the common man, and rather than engage the market, it sought the help (interference?) of the courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once again, those in power will shelter those in power, even if it\u2019s temporary, and disregard the consequence\/detriment to the ordinary person most likely to suffer the worst effects. Methinks back to the Statute of Laborers post-Black (thass ray-sis!<\/em>) Plague \u2026 Not that I\u2019m a socialist \u2013 heavens no! never that \u2026 power corrupts\/(fear of loss of) absolute power corrupts absolutely \u2013 but I would like to see capitalism, supply&demand, actually work in the way it is marketed to the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Masters of mankind, indeed.\u00a0 I suppose the rich could be eaten, but are they gluten-free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is beautiful.
