do you agree with this statement: “the right of these seven individuals to make more money outweighs the right of people who may need their care in the next 90 days to live”

the right of these seven individuals to determine when and how to sell their labor outweighs their previous employer’s attempts at punitive action via the legal system in a “right to work” state

their argument is completely cogent. the disagreement is over whether the correct immediate “remedy” for this acute manifestation of a lovely health care labor system is capital continuing to abuse labor or some stroke victims probably dying. nobody should be happy with either outcome.

you certainly are by not acknowledging that thedacare is de facto imprisoning these employees in their old job by preventing them from assuming their new one

i asked about what would happen if they all went to another hospital or just decided to quit entirely because the reality is we would likely see another injunction against them leaving before the arbitrary 90 day window is up

thedacare owns this and if they can’t live up to their responsibilities to their patients that’s on them, not seven employees that they poo poo on enough times to cause them all to want to leave

truism: the health care system is hosed up and needs reformation

another truism: the way to do this such that it is effective and helpful is definitely to not start from the bottom up and drag the bottom of the pyramid into court. let's sue the poo poo out of some CEOs before we start waving injunctions at loving laborers

but they aren’t, as we’ve discussed many times, “imprisoning them in their old jobs” because from the evidence at hand they did indeed quit as of Friday.

if we were talking about something completely different then yeah I’d probably have a different opinion, but we can’t really discuss things if we’re talking about what actually happened vs. what we think actually happened or what our headcanon of a situation is.

the injunction is not against them, it’s against their new employer. this isn’t a distinction without difference even if you don’t like it. if the injunction was against them, personally, by name, I would agree with you completely that it’s unjustified and unconstitutional (and also illegal), but it’s not.

only an argument if there is a wide range of opportunities for them after Previous Job. I assume this is an extremely specialized field and they didn't slap an injunction on one of the eight other opportunities they have in town. if that other place is their only reasonable destination without relocating or something like that, it's de facto forced labor.

it'd be like if walmart moved into a small town and made all the quitting employeees sign a noncompete saying they can't work at the other retail grocery store in town. What the gently caress else are they going to do?

precisely because collective solutions have some hope of achieving something, where whining about and shaming people for individual actions is very much in the realm of the enemies of collective solutions. your argument falls into the same category as "you can just send the irs a check if you love taxes so much". i'd also be very surprised if you couldn't save dozens of people yourself donating all your assets to african charities, but i don't argue you should, because arguing that is not really a solution.

absent building a time machine, in this specific circumstance, how should this goal be achieved

the hospital that is about to lose all its employees should say "we are currently offering $10,000 a day for nurses to come and work at our place, getting on a plane tonight and starting tomorrow morning, until we can fill the positions with permanent staff." i guarantee that will solve their staffing problem.

they are using the fact that people will die if they don't do this to try and guilt people into doing the work for free, because they don't want to pay what it's going to cost to fix it. that's literally all that is going on here.

Quitting your lovely job is good and everyone should be able to do it. If the places needs employees that badly maybe make it not lovely to work there so people voluntarily choose to do it. or just ban them from working anywhere else

I’m not shaming the people involved for getting better jobs, my point is - and always has been - that under the circumstances this isn’t some sort of insane outcome, or that it’s “chud judge forcing people to work at old jobs for temerity of finding new ones” that others have claimed. the court is mediating between two parties. there’s a million other things that could have, or should have happened. that said, they didn’t, and if your counter argument is “well the workers individual right to sell their labor trumps all other considerations” then I don’t think that’s a really great argument, and that it’s pretty fygm.

I normally never post here despite reading here a lot but holy poo poo dude I think you would rather wage a war than take an L.

Simply put, 2 wrongs don't make a right. It's not right what's happening to these workers, but it's not right to punish them for trying to improve their quality of life.

Yes it's unfortunate that there might be collateral damage here from people not getting help, but that doesn't

1) Automatically make it the "less moral choice" or whatever and
2) Doesn't automatically mean these workers (and anyone defending them) are taking this hard line libertarian FYGM attitude. That is bad faith arguing my dude.

We can all agree Thedacare is at fault here but changing them is not on the table in this specific instance.

no, you’re right, and I agree that it’s a tragic circumstance where someone is going to get hurt irrespective. even if I think that the court is minimizing harm to the community, it’s obviously doing so in an unjust way.

reasonable people can disagree about whose harms weigh more, i think the court decided that the potential harms to the community they served outweighed the personal harms to the employees. i hope they can all find justice - I certainly don’t think they’re the bad actors here.

i apologize for broadly tarring people who disagreed with my take libertarians/fygm-ites, but I do hope that you appreciate that you should take the time to consider an issue and recognize your biases and that you can separate the immediate situation from its systemic cause.
