People working without pay, that's a new one! Do you know what the fine would be based on the Employment Standards Act for making someone work without pay? We would be fined out of business for making someone work without pay.
A doctor working for no pay? We can hardly get them to show up when we are paying them, they push it off onto nurse practitioners if we're lucky.
You act like we are some crooked corporation who doesn't give a shit about employees. My dad used to drive to employees houses in his 4X4 to pick them up in snowstorms when they couldn't make it in, because their husbands were to lazy to drive them.
Once the unions came in all the freebies stopped.
edit: and before you say, you must have been doing something wrong to get a union in. The answer would be they were promised ridiculous raises by the union if they voted them in.
The sad part is as a nursing home we are given a set amount of money by the government to spend on nursing, programs, and the rest for accommodation. If we don't spend all the nursing money we literally have to give it back to the government.
So there was no raise for them to get. it was all smoke and mirrors by the union. We were already spending every dollar the government gave us for nursing. If we didn't we had to return it to the government.
