Ban Mandatory Overtime--Take 2
Submitted by Kati Sipp on Sat, 01/26/2008 - 4:14pm.
Here's the second in our series of SEIU Healthcare PA members talking about the need to ban mandatory overtime.
Mandatory overtime affects hospital workers, nursing home workers, and state and county employees.
If you love seniors, call your state senator and tell them to vote for a ban on forced overtime. If you live in the district of a member of the Republican leadership, call and tell them to schedule a vote on the bill (HB 834).
An Important Cause
This is an important cause that affects the quality of care that patients receive. It is a workers rights issue, a health care issue, and an issue of workplace justice. Hopefully, the Senate Republicans--always cautious, always slow to move--will be persuaded by a strong public outcry that their action here is necessary.
thanks
Rep. Cohen, it's great to have the support of the Democratic leadership of the House on this issue.
