Cypress Health Region - Shaunavon Hospital and Care Centre
Employers have phoned workers at home everyday and intimidated them until they come back to work sick or injured.
Examples include:
- Telling a wounded employee that is next day post surgery that they need to be at work!!! Without proper underclothing if need be. I believe we would hear about the proper dress code policy if we all chose to come to work wearing no bra to work….don’t you?
- Calling an employee and asking her which of her duties she could perform while taking treatment for cancer!!!
- Management telling workers to wear diapers to work when they should be at home taking care of themselves, and not out trying to take care of our sick and elderly.
My God, how do they sleep at night? There is something wrong with people who are capable of this type of abuse.
ReplyDeleteI have had to help tie my co-workers shoes! Now if you can't tie your own shoes, what are you doing in the work place! This is just an injured co-worker in a place where she could do more harm to herself and maybe me:~(. Where is the dignity and respect for this employee? Just another way to belittle us!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis employer has two faces.......The one it wants the public to see! And the one that we see everyday.... full of intimidation and disrespect for human dignity.
ReplyDeleteOur symapathies to all the front line health care workers in your district from we, the front line healthcare workers of our district, Kelsey Trail health district. The situation, whether it is intimidating workers to come to work, even if a doctor's note is given, to working short staffed almost on a consistent basis to charging us to park in our facility's parking lot is becoming alot more than workers are willing to take. It's time to start fighting back, but it seems that knowing where to start is hard to grasp. I think we need our ''management team'' in our facility's to stop putting their focus on that almighty nice bonus they strive for each year if they stay under the budget and maybe strive to understand and help the frontline workers get what is dearly needed before the sinking ship is sunk. I have worked as an SCA for twenty years and I have never seen morale as low as it is in the past few years. I symapathize with the workers that have gone back to 8 hour shifts from 12's. We are fortunate that we still have 12 hour shifts...I can't imagine working 8 hour shifts if you are full time...It's time to put the ''big shots'' on the floor, for say, about six months and see if they will change their tune! I think this site is a wonderful tool in an attempt to let everyone know exactly what is going on in healthcare...right across the province...
