That's just it, they're not getting a "heads I win tails you lose" out of this injunction at all. And they will have to open their purse. ThedaCare shot themselves in the foot by having to pay lawyers, legal fees, get new nurses, pay for any services they hire out of the new company to maintain their capacity, etc. which is going to cost a lot more than they could've gotten with the counter-offer. Meanwhile the workers still get to work for the new place at higher pay. They are not being enslaved at the current place according to the temporary injunction I read. The new place merely has to help the old one provide medical services temporarily (for which they can, and certainly will demand compensation). They absolutely should be firing the ThedaCare management, though. They really screwed this one up badly. The judge seems to be just trying to make sure that the patients of ThedaCare don't suffer for the mistakes of the hospital management. ThedaCare is putting themselves on the hook for plenty of extra costs with this stupidity, and they likely will have to pay significant costs over this for their failures in hiring nurses--and competent management.
