Your summary is wrong.
The case brought by ThedaCare sought to prevent Ascension from HIRING these people. There's no portion of their claim that attempted to keep the 7 working at ThedaCare; they were just trying to keep them from working at Ascension.
There's no provision in WI law that would have allowed ThedaCare to argue these people couldn't leave their jobs. Now, it IS plainly obvious that they were hoping that, by closing this option, they'd continue to work for ThedaCare, but this is ridiculous thinking. Were I one of the 7, I'd work literally ANYWHERE ELSE before given ThedaCare another minute of my time after they pulled this.
- FireBeyond 5y agoSomewhat. The TRO filed by ThedaCare also included a clause that required Ascension to "make available" two of the seven at any time to ThedaCare, to continue providing care at ThedaCare, "until ThedaCare had replaced them", which I feel is going to be a long, slow process, given how thoroughly and comprehensively ThedaCare has trashed its already poor reputation in the nursing community. That's literally indentured servitude. Those employees were being told not only that they couldn't work at an employer of their choosing, but that their resignation was moot - that a lawsuit, that to be clear, named them in no way, shape or form, was able to have as an outcome, be it a TRO, or final order, determining what employer they would work for.
- ubermonkey 5y agoIt's really unclear by what mechanism they thought any of this would prevail. The attorneys who filed this mess should be sanctioned; it's serious "throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks" garbage.
