Editor s note: This is the second part in a two-part Missoulian investigation into how nurses are faring during the pandemic in Montana while being denied hazard pay by their employers.
Working during a deadly pandemic, with the stress of trying to protect themselves from the virus and having to watch patients suffer anxiety-wracked deaths, is taking a huge mental toll on nurses in Montana.
Adding to that pain, almost all of them have been denied hazard pay in union negotiations with their employers. We should have hazard pay, said Geri Unbehend, an emergency-room registered nurse at Community Medical Center in Missoula. Anyone working in the hospital should be getting hazard pay. Housekeepers who have to clean those rooms should be getting it. It can affect anybody.

In the early days of the pandemic, a white-coated physician from Kalispell, Mont., stood at a podium and issued a dire warning about Covid-19’s death rate.1
Except Dr. Annie Bukacek called it the “so-called death rate.”2
“Based on inaccurate, incomplete data, people are being terrorized by fearmongers into relinquishing cherished freedoms,” said Bukacek, a pink stethoscope dangling below her double-strand pearl choker, in a YouTube video viewed 870,000 times.3
