Are these people your heros?

Unionized Healthcare workers staged a walkout at a CT nursing home. Before they left they messed with med schedules and swapped bracelets on the Alzheimer patients. Are these the heros that Obama is promoting? Are they your heros?

Well since the source for these alleged events is Fox news...who really knows?
I feel bad for the patients, but seriously, you really need to make better decisions for yourself or for your loved ones before commiting to a nursing home ran with union members. These are some things you need to ask before you find yourself in these poor people's position. Very, very, bad idea.

Otherwise, STFU and stay on point.

I liked the $4.29 an hour so I showed up with a card the next day ... min wage was $3 dollars less at the time ... it was simple economics

If you really want to know....no, I am not a union member. This is Kansas.


About the story, funny I noticed that no one condemned what they did. One person tried to kill the messenger and a couple of others talked around the story. No problem with what was done to innocent, helpless people at all?

"According to FoxNews.com, the incidents occurred in five of the company’s nursing homes in the overnight hours before the July 3 strike, and the incidents are similar to those that occurred in 2001 at several New England nursing homes that were represented by the SEIU."
FoxNews? lol

I loved my parents and grandparents and would have never, and did not ever put them in the hands of a union member for this very reason, they deserved much better.
