    1. @MrQuincy27 clearly you failed troll school and were given the worst assignment. Going all-in trolling nurses during a pandemic is quite the career choice

    2. @Jessica Dill I’m claiming the govt and hospital administrators have done a horrendous job and should all be fired and held accountable for this mess we are in . ALL THEIR FAULT !!! Mismanaged funds , overpaid bureaucrats. They spent how much money and nothing to show for it? And fire healthcare workers during a pandemic? Come on

  1. Is the work not bound by a collective agreement? If they are doing something outside the agreement, why not just grieve it?

    1. Governments legislate over and above the contract terms and the process takes so many years moving through the courts that the employer (the government) have constructively been given a free hand

  2. You hit it sister. Internationally trained Nurses will go a long way to help with their experience

  3. Is this being blamed on the unvaxxed or are we holding hospital administrators accountable by asking them why they fired thousands of healthcare staff the past 2 months?

  4. Perhaps stop firing nurses for not disclosing their vaccines status? And let’s extend that to every sector.
