Lucky this isn’t florida because during the pandemic, deSatan would have awarded cop with 1000$ instead of health care first responder workers
Why? So they can up the production value on their tik toks that they make while they’re supposed to be working?
The hospitals have the funds, they should pay they’re employees fairly, the board of directors trustees chairmen and they’re legal teams aren’t missing any payments so…
LOL The hospital administration is getting what they deserve now they’re in panic mode karma has come to the rescue
