Tweet by Fuck You I quite: This story should be printed and superglued to every piece of union busting propaganda you see. Via u/Amazing_Mode7321 Text from the screenshot: Corporate is about to learn an expensive lesson. I was hired into a new grad nursing program. I was offered a spot in the ICU. After just 7 weeks of training (training is usually 12 to 16 weeks), I was called on my day off and told it wasn't working out and I was being fired. I have made no medical errors, harmed no patients, had no near-misses, or anything to warrant being fired. Apparently they wanted me to be ready to care for critically ill patients after just 7 weeks of training. Thankfully, there is a union for the nurses. After appealing the wrongful terminations, I'll be getting my job back, with back pay, plus any PTO that would have been accrued. I basically got 9 weeks of paid vacation plus get additional training time when I return. I cannot speak highly enough of the protections a union can give the working class. Fuck those corporate assholes. /end screenshot
