        If a patient throws out their back trying to throw you though, that just ends up being more work for you.

      I would think it’s usually by family members of the patients, but to be a patient in the hospital, your body is no longer obeying regular functions, so the unexpected becomes the norm.

        Its usually patients, they often don’t have full capacity (either altered for organic underlying reasons, or substance use, etc…) and usually for that reason it goes unreported.

        If they aren’t responsible for their actions they should be considered legally incompetent by the state and their guardian should have to pay damages.

          That’s silly. If professionals can’t subdue a person completely out of control, you can’t expect a layman to do it instead.

            There are a lot of legal restrictions on how the hospital is allowed respond to violent patients

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
