And the dismantling of the USA and the constitution continues!

72 horas de descanso en cada semana de trabajo no es mucho pedir, amics, que llevamos viviendo de la lucha de los/as/es huelguistas de La Canadiense chorrocientos años y algo tendremos nosotros/as/es que legar a las generaciones venideras ¿o qué? Mientras los propietarios de los medios de producción llevan tres cuartos de siglo sobreexplotado los incrementos de productividad y forrándose a costa del sudor ajeno, el poder adquisitivo de la clase trabajadora no aumenta significativamente. Contar con más tiempo de vida real y menos de vida laboral es una buena forma de mejorar ¿no os parece?

A win for the workers!
My employer is a non-profit org that assists developmentally disabled folks lead a productive, independent life in both a residential setting, as well as with in the community.
Recently, due to exhausting and poorly organized schedules, 2 residential LPNs put in their notice. Management decided it would be best (for financial reasons) to have the regular workers, like myself, take on training to distribute medications to the residents. This would also mean there would be one less person on hand to assist with daily duties, including ensuring the safety of the residents. I refused when told the pay would be the same but the responsibility and liability would be greater for me and other workers.
I saw this as exploiting the workers to take on more work and liability for the same pay by way of not hiring more LPNs, thus "taking a job" from an LPN that would be willing to take the job.

The other workers (including the LPNs) had a few unofficial meetings and discussions stating we would all resist. Two other workers were ready to put in notice along with the LPNs.
Yesterday management, after realizing that 3/4 of our residential staff might be gone by the 2nd week of January, held a meeting for the workers to explain their side and express their concerns.

By the end of the meeting they offered one of the LPNs everything that they wanted to keep them on staff. They listened to all of the issues the staff had with liability, responsibility and safety.
I didn't make the last minute impromptu Zoom meeting, but my fellow workers kept me abreast of what went on.

So, here we are, the workers, including the LPN, getting the fair treatment with no extra workload and management bending to the needs of the workers and residents.

I've been putting a bug in the ears of fellow workers about these issues and I'm proud to say my fellow workers spoke up with all those concerns and more. I'm expecting a call from management today to hear of I have any additional grievances or concerns.

I consider this a BIG win for myself and my fellow workers.
Remember, that workers not only control the means of production but also ensure the safety and quality of life for ourselves as well as our residence and the community.

Never give up. Never back down.
