Employees threatened with loss of healthcare if they strike. Their employer is a hospital and they're nurses.

  Isn’t it illegal for an employer to retaliate against striking unionized employees?

    Laws protect business, not workers.

    yes but the law has no teeth. The punishment is a strongly worded letter from a judge and a fine that is cheaper than paying an employee.

    a General Strike is needed

  Even more reason to strike. Issue 1 in the demands: we still get healthcare when we strike

    Once you cross a certain line, you might as well suggest burning down the housing and building a new one.

  I wish they make their own hospital with blackjack and hookers.

    Like most of whatever parent company or crappy site interface some mid-tier cities have, if you reload the page a few times it should give you the option to view? Maybe you got the adock popup, same thing, there is usually an option out. I’m not a subscriber.

  Not trying to say this is good by any means, but isn’t that typical for strikes?

    It might be the irony of the situation more than anything.

      Hospitals want other employers to provide health coverage.

    Employers have a lot of options. They can threaten to fire people in large numbers, they can threaten various things, but by specifically threatening to cut off health care, their trying to put the workers to a life or death decision. In other words, this particular approach is definitely immoral and unjustifiable.

  Healthcare can stay private as far as I’m concerned, but it certainly shouldn’t be provided by the employer. Just give me more cash and let me buy my own.

    The profit motive definitely deforms the structure of medicine and medical services.

    A guarantee for coverage from private health providers is the system in many countries and is far better than the system in the US, but even considered globally, the domination of healthcare, or development, manufacturing, and distribution of technology and services through private corporations has led to a much bleaker world than might be imagined if medicinal systems were structured and practiced as a public good emphasizing human life as having the highest value.

  That’s obscene. I hope the nurses teach them their place.

  Do it anyway.
