Prayer Requests

If possible this new collective agreement proposed, I can't work in hospitals they are too triggering. And the rest is horrid, already nearly unbearable tbh. Read today about a place who failed countering it even with grievances and an advocate. Thanks very much if possible for prayers.
 
Well, one of my decisions is made if this agreement passes, and that is I will be out of work and looking. Because in personal care homes it is mandated to force all care. I will not do that without consent, that would be traumatizing for both of us, especially intimate care. No. Way. I was thinking these people teach or have studied about dementia for decades; I've cared for and spoken directly with those with dementia for decades. The only thing worse than doing that would be coming back the next day, if the first time was bad the next would be 1000x worse- talk about how to destroy all trust. My male coworker said the same. If this becomes the case it is not an option for me. Whatever scramble it may be. Though I don't want to lose 1/2 my pension.

I’m sorry that you have to deal with this! It’s so very sad…the care of our elderly and disabled.
My prayers are with you 🙏🏼💙🙏🏼
 
^^ The plot thickens.. voting extended 3 days- with now multiple votes for those at more than one work site, yet only one collective agreement?? No one I know with experience can justify or explain it. Bizarre. Hope new votes are to reject.
 
Thank you very much @AngelKeeperJ and @Defaultxlove , it was (miraculously) rejected. They gave no option to reject without a strike mandate (i.e. included, not separate), but have that too. The news refers to it as a monetary issue, but that is the last of it (though a percentage after 7 years with no increase still is below cost of living). However we can be ported anywhere -very different environments and policies- AND on any schedule (time and day) and still have no sick days virtually to bank, few benefits and are unpaid an hour of work per day (at minimum), amongst other concerns. Everyone is ready to strike within this 1/4 as the alternative is quitting for most. No one can believe they came up with endorsing this.
