Detroit VA Hospital ‘Like A Third World Country’ Claim Protesting Workers



DETROIT (WWJ) – Outraged over what they say are unfair and poor working conditions, employees at Detroit’s John Dingell VA Medical Center are rallying for change.
A group of about 100 workers and supporters protested outside the hospital on Wednesday.
“This is like a third world county here,” said Benjamin Mayhan, president of American Federation of Government Employees, Local 933. “You have managers who are very hostile towards employees of the union. We have a situation where we went to management several times; it’s not been abated.”

Also among the grievances: Some probationary workers claim unwarranted firings happen out of the blue.
“What they’ll do, they’ll have employees work for most of their tenure, and then in the last hours — the final hours — they’ll send them home, they’re terminated for no reason…or they’ll have a pretty flimsy reason for doing it,” Mayhan said.

Isaiah 1:17-19
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

 Ecclesiastes 7:7
7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
