Update on indentured servitude

After Monday’s testimony, Judge McGinnis said ThedaCare did not meet all four of the required prongs to keep the temporary injunction in place.

“Could or should ThedaCare and Ascension get together and work in this transition period? I was hoping so over the weekend and I will continue to hope so. But I’m not able to craft any type of injunction that would require or limit Ascension without, I think, creating more issues or more friction, or taking away the ability that they have to provide healthcare services,” the judge said.

The decision means the seven medical workers can start work immediately at Ascension.

Thank goodness for that. Just knowing the judge thought it was reasonable to do this in the first place is plenty bad, at least he had the sense to realize it and put the whole thing…

The lawsuit itself continues.

Well shit…
