Well by now Im sure you have read the Topix of Golden Living Center Employees Fired. If not please go to their site and read.
http://m.topix.com/forum/city/stanford-ky/TNAGL918M77BGVSN. Isn't it amazing, that facility is going through what ours is. They were not trying to organize a union. They were just asking for better care, treatment. "Fired for no reason" stated they were doing the same thing in the GIC of Maryland and replacing them with Foreign staff. "Uracrybaby" who sounds a lot like the "outsider who was on our blog. Was down right nasty like the outsider stated "that GIC was stem celling Mackacks monkeys to work for them, because all they wanted was Chaquita banana's. Sound Familiar. "Cali and Imo" stated The corp knew exactly what takes place and they only care if it cost them money or if the state gets called. Sound Familiar. Take notice that their blogs started in Feb 2011. Right around the time we started experiencing the problems here. Take notice the blog ended in Jul 2011. I wonder what happened. I bet they were all fired. Just like that great nurse and many other valuable employees here. They didn't fire them because of the Union. They fired them because they could. Without representation we call can be fired. You wouldn't go to court without a Lawyer. You shouldn't go into any of those offices without representation. Right now resident care (once again) is last on their list. They are pulling people off the floor 3 or 4 times during their shift, taking away from resident care. Because they are so concerned for you trying to get a union. What a joke. They don't care about the residents and you. We all are just numbers. LPN's you know each and every one of you will be eliminated. The nurse we just lost was a LPN. The job posted is for a RN. Look at the ratio of RN's vs LPN's. Look at all the new nurses hired in the past 6 months. They are all RN's. You cant tell me a qualified LPN has not applied. They are only advertising for a RN. They will pick on you until you quit. If your a Die hard they will fire you. Because they can. We are at Will. The only thing that will give you job security is collective bargaining. You might think, Oh well, i will just go somewhere else and work. Really! GIC says their the leading industry in long term care. The others corp will follow. In the past their was nothing but LPN's working these facilities. We even got great surveys. But now you aren't cutting it, They only want RN's It sure is funny how all these RN's are here and the bldg is worse. The corp claims they are loosing money, and we all will feel the impact. But my my, look at all the money they are paying out to prevent the change we need.
If the union cant do anything for us, then why does the corp spend so much money trying to keep them out?
ReplyDeleteDid you notice how they are having all these meetings, to find out why. When they know the answer, they just thought we were stupid ass wiping monkeys. They know they are not going to win this time. That we will make changes for our residents and for us. SO NOW COMES THE THREAT TACTICS: What did the corp HR say: A lot of people are going to loose their jobs next month. That she suggtests you vote no. How does she sleep at night? When the truth is You can not be fired for trying to organize thank God its a Federal Law. I wonder if she is violating this law with her intimidating threats?
ReplyDeleteIts bc colleen is jus like lori they dont care they get a bigger profit without the union
ReplyDeleteYes it is against the Law to threaten or try to imtimidate a worker to prevent them from comming together collectively as one voice and forming a union. It is a Federaly protected right.
ReplyDeleteIf the HR lady is doing this it needs to be well document and a charge be filed against her azz with the labor board.
