Union Problems

News flash:
Another cytotech bit yeh dust, and one of the best. When our lab was acquired by Labcorp, we were told how much better it would be for us. There would be no problem with personal time off because labs within the network cooperated with one another. No significant backlog was possible because excess workload would be sent to anther lab in the network.

NOT!!!. Instead of cooperating, the Los Angeles management competed with the other labs, creating self induced stress on the unit. Little Kim refused to approve personal time off for overworked cytotecs. The workload was increased without a corresponding increase in pay. Long term techs, afraid it would get worse, quit for for fear of losing the opportunity to flee. Instead of hiring, they pressured techs to work weekends for premium pay. They care not about humans. Only care about how they impress San Diego and feeding their ambitions. How on earth is a

Someone, please tell these Yahoo!'s that premium time is paid is a shift differential. It is another overtime. Overtime is 1.5 for the sixth day of work and double time for the seventh. California state employment law. This also applies to supervisors.

So here we go again. Three cytotechs quit. Out of the need to outshine rather than cooperate, the workload was increased again without an increase in pay. For the second year in a row, the yearly raise was given before the employee review. When the amount of the raise is below that corresponding to the employee rating and below the increase in the cost of living, there is a problem. Especially, while LabCorp is leveraging hundreds of millions to purchase other businesses. I am embarrassed for the behavior of the tool supervisor, who, if she ever had any principles, sold them for crumbs off her bosses table.

And Corporate, don't ask the these narcissistic sociopaths if they did what you know they did. They are professional liars and they did it , know how to fake it, and will surely fiugure a way to place the blame elsewhere. They don't care who they throw under the bus. What next, another daily workload increase with no time off?

Where is the union rep? I am ready to sign up.

To finish second paragraph, ......How on earth could a lab doing Clinical pathology have a cytotechnologist managing it? Wouldn't a qualified Clinical Laboratory Scientist or licensed Medical Technologist or PHD who is trained to manage be a better choice for a lab that would like to expand? Someone who values the human contribution to the organization would be able to retain employees.
 






WTF.....

Here is the breakdown of the thread......

LabCorp is working hourly workers more than 40 hours per week and not paying overtime..... Which is Illegal.
LabCorp has unqualified personal setup as lab directors which is very illegal in the Republic of CA.

In short, LabCorp could easily be the next Theranos if the Labor Department and FDA get involved and start mopping up the mess.
 






that is not entirely correct. They have a Pathologist lab director there. They are not that stupid. However , the lab manager is cytotechologist.

However they do not pay them overtime. Even when they work seven days in a row.
Examples of everyone being forced to work and not even been paid premium time, and definitely not overtime are the few times the computers crashed it the city turned the electric power grid off for periodic system upkeep. When on a Friday the computers crashed, the cytotechs were required to wait out the full 8 hour day just in case IT could get the computers back up and online. The computers did not come back online until Sunday. The cytotechs came back in, finished the work from Friday, and even though IT was paid overtime, cytotechs got nothing. Labcorp HR came up with a lame excuse why they would not pay.
 












Its time to Man Up and get out. Don't count on a Union to come save you. Labcorp sucks so just quit bitching and leave! I did and waking up for work has never felt better. Labcorp operates to please Wall Street they don't care about you! They won't change and The Union ain't comin!,

I don't care if labcorp does exist to please Wallstreet. That sucks and needs to be rectified. What kind of people run that place, sociopaths? The problem with sociopaths is even though they lack a conscience and are straight up liars who can pass a lie detector test, they will lie to, not only to the employees and the clients, but to executive management without cracking a sweat.

One by one, techs ARE getting the heck out.

A union vote is a right. It is the only way to make a change.

Correct, it is only way to drive change in culture. As things are now, the company just looks at turnover as the cost of doing business. Imagine the success if good people stayed.

They have full time a couple of kiss ass cytotechs there that only work 3 or 4 hours per day, including weekends, before heading for their other jobs. Screening unsatisfactory cases must be simple work. A number of years ago, one of them got a lab closed down after a state inspection for reading more than the equivalent of 80 slides in a 24 hour period. The penalty was that all of her and another tech's work had had to be re screened. She was secretly leaving the first job, during lunch, to work at another lab. Unfortunately she got busted, when her boss showed up one afternoon and caught her red handed, at the microscope screening paps at her other job. She got fired. I'll give you one guess who hired her. That's right. LabCorp. Still up to the same old tricks?
( Meanwhile, the rest of the cytotechs are working their butts off) No wonder they get pissed when inequities are brought up. Who wouldn't want a 3 hour job with full time pay? I wonder if they are distributing their own work. Now that would make sense, wouldn't it?

When is the union vote?
