Union Problems

Sacramento has passed so many meaningless laws that it is impossible to keep them all straight. Just wait till the company gets hit with a lawsuit because a phlebotomist uses an incorrect gender identity to address a patient.

What does your example have to do with labor law? I do remember, however, a lab being sued because they were reusing disposable needles for drawing blood. And in San Francisco of all places. Phlebotomist...trying to save money for the company. Good grief!

It's not only the letter of the law they violate, but the spirit of the law and the dignity of employees....

Waa!Waa,Waa..........shut up it get to work. Take care of my clients today while I hit the links. If you don't like it join the Sales team. 4 hour days 3 days a week. Company car and gas card.
 






Most of that is factual. My recollection is that she had a full time position at a lab in Los Alomitos It was a quire day and and is now out of business. At the time, Her friend and former coworker at the lab other was caught by the State inspector from Laboratory Field Services working for more than one lab and screening over the 80 slides per day California limit. The Stae forced kthe lab to rescreen all of his work. They hired cytotechs to rescreen the slides. ( Some techs refused to do this out of a sense of professional solidarity.)

One day she left the lab during her lunch hour to rescreen slides at the other lab. The lab manager from her full time job walked in and caught her reading the paps. D.W. said he fired her. And yes, Labcorp, in turn, hired her, so what you suggest is not a surprise. I was also told that the cytotech who got the lab in trouble could not find another job in this state. Bad reputation. So he moved to Arizona and he was hired by labcorp. Well that goes to show the value of LabCorp's background checks. Lol.

Don't be so unkind. She is really a great company employee. Not only does she do work that very few want to do, but she actually likes doing it. Quid pro quo. She deserves the benefits and a break. Leave her be.

I am hoping that this is your idea of sarcasm, because you cannot be serious. Who gives a fk about a company that looks at you as a unit of labor instead of a human being- She is there to collect a paycheck just like you. The only difference is she doesn’t care how she makes a buck. Any working person who is brainwashed against a labor union is against himself, and an ignorant fool. Collective bargaining is the only way to any empowerment. If they told the green cards that they would have to screen 250 slides a day, they would put heads down, look at the floor, and them commence to reading 250 slides. They do not have a clue about the law of supply and demand. Even though they are doing more work, but for no more money. Some would do the 250 slides in 31/2 hours. Hoever, the token toady supervisors would say not a damn thing . Why,? Because there is an implicit agreement: The cytotechs will forego decent raises, even work 7days a week -NO overtime pay, as long as they can leave early. All they have to do is say they do not have outside employment and snitch out their co-workers.

Oh yes, If you are an ambitious toady who will use every opportunity to be a snitch, and/or an undercover racist, you will advance quickly. Ask Sk, M.O.E., or M.T.
 
























We are lucky not to have unions everywhere given the way we treat many of our employees....poor pay, high stress, terrible leadership, etc. etc. A petri dish for unions.

Well it goes like this. Instead of dealing with the the real transgressors of the rules, the scared little toady goes after the black guy in the back in the corner cubicle (who is actually an excellent cytotechnologist). Wonder why she feels safer going in on people like him while protecting members of other groups, who break the rules. Ummm, well you sure couldn’t say she wasn’t supervising somebody or call her a “racist.” But if you were looking for the 3 hour tech, it was not about him.
 












A union is needed so badly. What is being put up with from dear leader, sue jung “little” Kim is beyond nuts. This cytotechnologist who LCA has made a lab manager, thinks the place is her own private plantation. When she was a tech, she was obsessed with making more money, even talked about striking. When the lab that she was with merged with this lab, she said of the other employees, ....what do you expect? Look at what’s working here...Now she makes it her job is to make sure that the only one who gets paid is herself. The place could be such a great place to work. Every rediculous policy or action is blamed on penny pinching corporate. Cytotechnologists are leaving for much better pay. When they leave, they are not replaced. The workload is increased for those who remain with no increase in pay, giving the illusion that there is an increase in business. English is a second language for the majority of the employees, so if they complain, it is only between themselves. They are too afraid to speak up. Some work 7 days a week. No overtime? Oh no. When you go out of your way to come back in on your weekend to make up work because of a power failure, or computer crash,or a backed up workload, there is no overtime. You are not a professional. You are their pet. You are given a treat. A cookie, a piece of candy or a pastry. And if you are lucky, you might get lunch a month or two later.

Yes. Those are only a few reasons that a union is needed.

LOL. It is not the black woman, either. But guess what? If the focus on them, Trump like minds who believe in stereotypes will pick up that ball and run with it. After all, why else would they make the little tool supvr in the first place? To shut her mouth, making her a sellout and insuring her allegiance? After all, you sure can’t call “her” a racist.

And No! Neither of the 2 African American cytotechnologists, the man or the woman, are in the 3 hour group. Stop using them as scapegoats while using M.O. as your shield. Yes, we get it.

PS: M.O. is the only one who does not get it. Now, don't shoot the messenger.
