Sad day for democracy when you have to ask your employer for this.

"According to the union representing Saskatchewan's nurses, they’re scared to speak up."

"Health Minister Dustin Duncan says his office is considering the request." ( a letter of protection assuring nurses that there would be no reprisals)

Is the Saskatchewan Government kidding with that response? I really hope so. Brad Wall should be shaking his head and should put a stop
on the health ministers comments.

Union or not, nurses or ANY other staff should not be afraid to speak up, weather they like or dislike the program. Has that what the Saskatchewan Party has done
to unions and workers in this province?

We do have a constitution in this county called Canada, which guarantee's rights and freedoms of it citizens, which maybe some of you have forgotten. One of
those rights is freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.

I get tired of hearing 'the front line workers' like this, don't like that ect, ect. The health care system that we more than enjoy in this province and country is not totally
run buy the front line workers, all the workers need to be heard, all of them.

Is the LEAN program working, I have no idea. Having been in the hospital far more than my fair share in the last four years, the way I was treated and cared for was
fantastic and I would hate to see it go down hill just to save 58¢ per person in Saskatchewan.

Stuff costs money... hospital stuff even more. Everyone pays a bit, and we all get the benefits.

I don't understand why this is such a hard concept for some.

Thoughts??
