More medical workers should do this. It’s infuriating how companies abuse these workers’ dedication to saving human lives to abuse them.
Thats only half of the story. Most of these medical workers are making over 2x what the average service worker is trying to survive on. The fact that they make that much when so many other people dont is part of what keeps their wages deflated. Theyll say if you dont like making $35 an hour then go flip burgers for $17
If medical workers “cant survive” on $35/hr then obviously the average person is well beyond fucked, but the average person is expected to survive on half that much. And so long as there is a cycle of people attempting to make it on <$20/hr wages then no one is gonna raise wages for skilled work
It’s infuriating that medical care costs so much and yet the employees are broke.
I’m from Anaheim. I’m surprised the cops haven’t shut them down. That’s the kind of place it is.
“People who make enough to afford to strike in California complain that they don’t make enough to live”
That’s a lot of words to use just to communicate that you like the taste of boots.
It says a lot that you’re angry and the workers yet the company made massive profits.
FTA “Meanwhile, Prime Healthcare reported $56 million in net profit from 2021 to 2023. None of this has gone to staffing or improving care. Instead, its latest contract proposal offers just a 3 percent annual raise—insultingly below inflation and far less than the wage scales at nearby hospitals like Keck-USC, where salaries are about 30 percent higher.”
Uhhhhhh what?
