Since the outset of the pandemic, nurses and other frontline healthcare workers have been at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19. Their courageous and indefatigable efforts to keep the virus at bay are often recognized by elected officials, healthcare executives, and other powerful individuals.
But these recognitions are mostly symbolic, not substantive.
While the COVID-19 virus has been an incredibly profitable enterprise for the healthcare service industry, it seems as though most of those profits move upward to the executive level, with very little being invested in the actual healthcare service and the people who are providing it.
A local example of this can be seen in the current contract negotiations between St. Luke s nurses, represented by the Mass Nurses Association, and Southcoast Health. The MNA is asking Southcoast Health for modest demands as part of a new collective bargaining agreement to include better wages for their nursing staff.
