Question 16 years ago my employer (major NC hospital) implemented the Special Pay Practice program of 7 on 7 off /work 70 paid 80. The SPP was a tool created to recruit and retain professional staff on 3rd shift.
July 1st, a memo was sent to these employees stating that the hospital was no longer able to financially support the SPP program. Employees would now be required to work 10 additional hours to maintain the current pay they have been receiving. 7 on 7 off will now become 8 on 6 off.. Asking 3rd shifters to work an additional 10 hour day without compensation. Analogous to working M-F 9 to 5 for 16 years and then being asked to stretch ones work week to Saturday without your paycheck being affected.
Please advise the 24 graveyard shift workers who feel we are being treated unfairly by this health care provider who suddenly feels that the recruitment and retention of professional staff on third shift is no longer a priority.
Answer THURGOOD,
BASED ON YOUR BRIEF,
-it sounds very sad.
-can't the management find a way to raise the
required funds.
-here the labor council can do nothing for you all.
============================================
MY SUGGESTION,
-take a collective action, by all those who are
affected by this action.
-make a petition.
-first, make an appeal to the management.
-if that does'nt work, jointly make an appeal to
*local state politicians
*local congressmen from the house of representative.
*local members from the house of senate.
THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE APPEAL
WILL BE HEARD/ ACTED ON.
