]]> Comment on Teamsters, Religious Leaders Call On Ascension Health To Respect Rights Of Workers, Patients And Communities by Steve Pharmacy http://www.unions.org/home/union-blog/2010/03/12/teamsters-religious-leaders-call-on-ascension-health-to-respect-rights-of-workers-patients-and-communities/comment-page-1/#comment-3013 Steve Pharmacy Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:58:47 +0000 83595 at http://www.teamster.org#comment-3013 I have worked at Genesys for 10 years. We had a win, win situation with Norma Hagadorn as our CEO. We were proud of our first rate five star hospital, Ascension brought in Mark Taylor from Missouri and moral is at an all time low. He is destroying all trust in the workers. All our long time Genesys supervisors and vice-presidents under Norma have been fired by excorting them out of the building. We are suppose to be a non-profit hospital. Genesys changed its mission statemet to include the word Jesus. This one week after Genesys was slapped with fraud under Mark Taylor's watch. I'm a dovout Catholic and ashamed to say I work for Genesys. Please, send this man home to Missouri. We are competing with two other regional medical centers in Flint which, too are unionized. That is the way of life up here. A quote from Pope John Paul II on May 1, 2000...What is meant by the word "desent" in regard to work? Work that permists the workers to organize themselves freely, and to make their voices heard: work that leaves enough room for rediscovering one's roots at a personal, familial work and spiritual level: WORK THAT GUARANTEES THOSE WHO HAVE RETIRED HAVE A DECENT STANDARD OF LIVING. Pope Benedict also stated, "Every econonmic decison has a moral consequence." June 29, 2009. Those of us in Flint feel like we are working for Anarchy Hellth. I have worked at Genesys for 10 years.

The increase in out of pocket payments is more!! A visit to the ER would cost $200 instead of $100., office visits will go from $20. to $50., co-payments for medication will also increse 50%, instead of an 80/20 in patient co-payment it would be 70/30.
