These guys don’t pay their workers, you expect them to pay for lawyers. When they realize how fucked they are you’ll see them find money for a private lawyer.

It’s more that the employer’s insurer will strongly encourage a settlement as it’s cheaper than going to court and winning.

Even if it was completely free you still shouldn’t be calling 911 for a cut on your finger

i kind of disagree. that line of thinking is how we got the shithole that is penn station today. if you aim for "just functional," you'll almost certainly end up with "less than functional."

i'm all for restoring penn to its former glory, but i kinda thought the extent to which that was ever realistically gonna happen was moynihan hall. plus... what's the point of moynihan hall, if penn is rebuilt in place of msg? i mean i'm all for more space, don't get me wrong, but msg + moynihan is a 4 block footprint. even for penn that seems like overkill, or at least, it seems like something the city wouldn't do. the biggest problem with penn is it's a fucking maze of mishmashed hallways, tunnels, and disparate waiting areas. if it were open and spacious like the original, moynihan would seem kind of redundant.

but now that i think about it, if they're gonna rebuild MSG between 6th and 7th, is there any opportunity to lean even further into it and expand access to the platforms all the way over to 6th ave where they could connect penn to NQRW/BDFM and PATH trains? that might actually be a really cool opportunity to really improve things -- or fuck midtown up even more spectacularly, lol.

but... if we made the system more efficient... how would we take advantage of it for personal gain?

jesus christ what fucking scumbags

Shalel is amazing, i went there a couple of times, highly recommended

>“It is actually not OK to erase black leaders who are not pleasing to white people,”

Yikes. That's very specific language right there, doing its best to dismiss any criticism anyone has. Basically "I know this is wrong, but I can say it in a way that makes it okay."

After what he did, no one has ever been named Tappan again

They're not even primarily fighting for pay. They want to be less overworked.

Additionally a big problem with that sentiment is...

Many hospitals claim that residents actually don't provide any value. It's part of the reason the resident system was created in the first place to subsidize them.

There's a chance they just say it's not worth it to have trainees and just hire full doctors only.

Roughly half of all companies only hire experienced candidates and make entry level workers someone else's problem

I thought the Legal Aid Society represents indigent folks. Why are they representing these two bozos who stole 7500 from two laborers?

Let them pay the going fee to be defended.

Its just convenient, but I never even considered those. DC or Boston would be interesting as we’ve never been. Any recommendations? This is all a surprise by the way

Why pay for a hotel in your own city? Spend it on an actual trip to another city! DC or Philly or Boston are all easy to get to.

the most recent generation of residents is finally pushing back at this, monti case in point, but the work is far from over. it wont be until all residents are compensated properly for their work and aren’t forced to have multiple 24hr shifts a week. it literally is a risk to patient care and Libby Zion is a very tragic example. now you aren’t considered a “team player” if you accurately report your hours and don’t cap them at 80 a week
