Not only did they sue. They won an injunction preventing their employees from taking the new job. Now they get to feel the full force of modern klepto-capitalism wrapped around their necks as bills come due. Land of the free. EDIT: It seems they've been allowed to take the new job as of yesterday. Here's the filing https://www.wpr.org/sites/default/files/ascensionbriefjan24.pdf https://www.wpr.org/sites/default/files/ascensionbriefjan24....

> Land of the free. I mean the hospital feels that way. People that came here and set up entire states to do opposite things of the directly neighboring state felt that way. The lawyer moonlighting as a poet who started that meme while actual soldiers were fighting felt that way. It was never a quote for the - lol - proleteriat and the lyrics delayed its use as a slogan and anthem for over a hundred years.

They received a temporary restraining order up until today's hearing for the actual injunction to keep the employees until new ones could be hired. [1] The injunction itself was not granted thankfully. Edit: I should have started with at least a source: [1]: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/thedacare-vs-ascension-returns-to-court-after-temporary-restraining-order-granted/ar-AAT5MIP https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/thedacare-vs-ascension-...

  You mean Ascension, right? ThedaCare's TRO was dissolved once it became clear that it wasn't going to protect any patients from ThedaCare's stupidity and they've already had to pay some damages to the affected employees per my understanding.

  It's absurd that, in an at-will state, there was even a temporary restraining order. And there's no guarantee it would have been fixed so promptly without the national publicity this received. Not everyone is rich enough that they can lose a week's wages - to say nothing of the legal costs involved.
