This went to court yesterday and was lifted. But the last I read about it was early in the AM before they went to court.
https://www.wpr.org/thedacare-loses-court-fight-keep-health-care-staff-who-resigned
Basically a health care system had several employees resign and take a new job for the same position/roles for better pay, better work/life balance, and benefits. Before they quit, the employees all went to their bosses and asked them to match or top the offers they were given. The job basically said--GO FISH/F-U and ya mama too...so of course several jumped ship. Job gets mad, cites COVID shortages and basically got a judge to restrain their old employees from starting their new job which would have started yesterday (Jan. 24)--wanted them to be forced to STAY until they can hire replacement staff.
The staff were AT WILL WORKERS. No contracts signed. State of Wisconsin
THE AUDACITY!
They also couldn't go back to their old job.
Anyhoo, the judge lifted it. But I couldn't help but wonder if a precedent is trying to be set. Implications to me feel like slavery. Implications to me ring true to how many states are becoming more and more authoritarian and restrictive (like how states have filed anti-abortion legislature THOUSANDS OF TIMES, and in 2021/2022 something finally stuck). What if 10 years from now....this kind of stuff keeps getting filed and seeing the light of day in court and finally sticks?
