Did New York State Lie about Vaccine Mandate?
USA Today reported on October 12 that although 55,000 more New York health care workers got the vaccine prior to the vaccine mandate deadline, 35,600 were suspended for refusing to get vaccinated. Doesn't this point to almost 1/3 of unvaccinated health care workers choosing to be fired, rather than get vaccinated? Either I didn't hear earlier reporting correctly or New York bent the statistics. The health care system is on its knees, due to staffing shortages in many parts of the US. New York needs these workers. We negotiate with Wall Street and foreign powers. Isn't there some way that New York could negotiate with these workers rather than suspend them. Isn't there some way they could give us their desperately needed skills without compromising the health of their patients and residents.? A few weeks ago these people were hard-working heroes. Are they now the "bad guys" because of personal convictions? By the way, I was vaccinated and vaccinated early! Love your podcasts!!!!
Workers’ reasons for workers revolt?
Hey Saagar and Krystal, I love the show, and really appreciate what you both do. Regarding your first segment from Thursday, have any independent journalists been collecting reasons from workers themselves on why they are leaving their jobs? I’m supportive of the current “workers revolt” occurring, and hope workers are quitting because they feel they now have other more fulfilling opportunities. I’m just curious what quitting workers are saying in their own words on all this. Thanks!
Vote with your wallet against corporate abuse
First of all, love the show! <3 A delicious diet of sanity and truth in a media world void of both. My question: you both hammer a lot on the terrible working conditions and abuse of power of Amazon. I completely agree this has to change. But I know that Saagar (and I think Krystal too) has stated in the past he still buys at Amazon. What's the rationale behind that? Let's say we know a company uses slavery, you would boycott them by at least not buying there either I presume. I feel like many people disagree with certain company's policies, but then are unwilling/(unaware?) to take action. And before anyone says "but I'm just 1 person", it still starts with yourself right?
