Tell me again how the pandemic is over?

Tell me how “forced to work” isn’t slavery. Many nurses choose the vocation in passion – exploiting that passion is unconscionable.

It’s certainly abusive, but calling it slavery is hyperbolic. Ask someone who has experienced actual slavery if forced overtime for a paid job that you can walk away from any time – a job where you have no obligations or fealty to your boss when you’re off the clock – if that feels like slavery, and you will not likely find agreement.

I’m reading about the situation in British hospitals and thinking that will be Quebec soon. Not only the next month, but during years to come because there are less healthcare workers in the education pipeline than are leaving and retiring.

It’s not really slavery since they are getting paid overtime. Whether or not they can continue to function properly in the coming days is another story tho. And don’t worry mare the caq will replace workers with robots anyway right?
