There has recently come to light some facts and articles about the Utah State Hospital (you know the one we're supposed to be emulating) being in some legal trouble over not keeping their employees safe. The article states that there have been numerous fines to the hospital for this reason as well as law suits. Seems they have had to revamp their system to help defer more legal problems.
I guess that helps make sense as to why we're having the same problems here. Guess HMG didn't want us to know about this. It's been going on over the past 6 years as some of the articles dated back that far.
I'm hoping that by having this come to light our hospital can change (I know, I know). Without the legal problems etc. Don't we deserve to be protected on the job, or were we hired to be assaulted? Kind of makes you wonder.
Stay safe out there and watch each other's backs. Until HMG makes some changes we need to keep ourselves safe. If you'd like to check out the articles yourself just Google "Utah State Hospital".

Hope everyone is happy!
Well it seems that it's time for a mix up at the Fort. A lot of people are making team changes it seems. I would assume to be a little happier or find a way to keep working here. I hope everyone is happy in their new positions as it's getting confusing on who works where etc.
I liked the one from the DON on the new policy that people can only use their cell phones on their break. What break? Hmmm. Maybe someone should enlighten him.
We may also need to be getting the life preservers back up on the wall by what was in the most recent issue of the Fort in Short. Sounds like were having budget problems already with no fix in sight. How did this happen? Why do we constantly have our tails in a crack. There's got to be answers and it shouldn't mean that we take the brunt of the problem (like we did to get to July).
I think it would also help if they were honest with us and let us know what's going on. We're adults we can handle it.
One more thing. There are surveys being passed around for the union. The surveys are a chance to tell what you think needs a fix etc. It will give the union a direction in which to proceed. So please mail them in if you get one.
