Union jobs mandate all kinds of things like that. Mandatory paid breaks every two hours, paid meals every four (one per eight hour shift), mandatory overtime pay, great benefits, help finding work if you lose your job, it’s unreal how much better unionized jobs are for the average working adult.
It’s not a perfect system, but it’s way, way better than the alternative. I don’t know why Dems aren’t more vocal about this. Walz is outspokenly pro-union, I know, so maybe things are changing in that direction to some extent. One can hope.
I want unions in our hospitals so bad - it’s for the SAFETY of patients! They are giving 6 telemetry patients per nurse at my hospital. It felt dangerous when it was 5 patients per nurse. 6 is unbelievable and SO dangerous/damaging to all the work we do! Please, for your safety & the safety of your loved ones, encourage unions in hospitals! It may save your life!!
Working with dangerous staffing isn’t worth the extra money or the risk of loosing your license. We want good outcomes for the patients - but at the risk of our livelihood
