Where's the union propaganda parrot Blackday ? He should be squawking at full tilt on another glorious strike.

Health workers to strike as last-ditch talks fail over patient assaults
By Natassia Chrysanthos and Anna Patty Updated July 31, 2019 — 9.55pmfirst published at 6.55pm

NSW patients will get a free ambulance ride on Thursday when more than 22,000 Health Service Union members go on strike and paramedics work but refuse to bill patients.

Health workers including cleaners, security guards and administration staff will partake in a four-hour rolling industrial action to demand safer workplace conditions in light of assaults and abuse they face at work.

I'm behind the 100%
They have little or no support from the police, because the cops are too busy raising revenue chasing speeders.
Security at hospitals is the cheapest possible, and generally undermanned.
Ambulance drivers are molested, abused and assaulted daily.

Either give the people who are there to help us some strong support
Or
Stop anyone who attacks them from receiving any assistance at any time in the future when they need it.
They will simply die out and make the world a better place.

They are almost in a war zone dealing with these violent creatures. Where is their union that's supposed to be protecting them ?

Here's your answer dickhead.

Quote:

After three decades of uninterrupted economic growth, why don't we feel wealthy?

Australia has had almost three decades of uninterrupted economic growth. The stock market is at an all time high, unemployment and interest rates are low and the housing market is rebounding. But working Australians don't feel "wealthy". And that's for two very good reasons - wages are flat and our disposable income hasn't gone up since the GFC.

I would rather our scant resources be spent on protecting our front line medical staff than the useless morons in politics.
Take away the politicians guards and security and allocate it to the front line.

Then the idiot politicians may wake up and see the world as it really is, possibly prompting them to get their fingers out and address the rampaging crime in Australia before it gets them.

He does like ED though, no time to get bored and every case is different.

In Indonesia they shoot drug addicts.

State Health Minister Brad Hazard has had years to do something about extra security in hospitals, but now he's following in the lazy slob footsteps of former Health minister Jillian Skinner-Frau of Belsen

A strike by Health workers means only one thing - the Minister is taking too long to address the workers concerns, concerns that have been lingering for years, because the injuries and assaults sustained by hospital staff have been happening for years

There should be no politics in this issue, but I suspect the Minister is playing politics. Violence is a police matter, extra security at hospitals would lower the risk of violence and lessen the need for police to intervene, in other words, stop the violence before it starts

Minister Hazard has expressed his disappointment in the strike, but we can equally express our dismay at his lack of action to do something much earlier about the violence

Not that health care workers would use it, against the grain, but wouldn't it be nice for them to have the same right to self defence as other front line public servants like coppers? "Shut the fuck up and do as you are told or I'll shoot you then patch you up!"

We did have a person shot trying to escape the ED at LBH a couple of blocks away earlier this year. He was obviously in custody and tried to do a runner, last mistake he made.

There's two jobs in NSW public hospitals many people would love to have .... Security officer and ... Patient Safety & Clinical Quality officer. One plays cards and drinks coffee, the other is excused by the Manager to hang around and look busy for fear that officer might come up with a brilliant idea the manager might have to look into

Three, my son had one, eMed, but has moved on to more exciting work, he didn't enjoy it, he's always loved ED but was earning over 80k a year doing eMed deployment and training. That is coming to an end soon for those still doing it. He's now in ED at GCoast, so not in NSW anymore.
