This piece made me furious. Nurses are asked to *bid* on shifts, offering to work lower and lower wages, and then the app can fail and not pay them at all. We don't have a nursing shortage, we have a shortage of good jobs sane humans are willing to work. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/u…

The The Guardian covering the important new paper on gig nursing in the US, by #Fairwork US PI Katie J. Wells and #Fairwork Senior Researcher Funda Ustek Spilda👇 Roosevelt Institute Groundwork Collaborative theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…

NEW📰: Since 2016, US hospitals have integrated "gig" nurses. Katie J. Wells & Funda Ustek Spilda interviewed 29 "gig" nurses & nursing assistants. They find that these on-demand nursing firms reinforce and exacerbate existing issues in the health-care industry. rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/u…

New Roosevelt Institute report on the uber-fication of nursing from Katie J. Wells out today. It’s horrifying: Gig nursing apps are charging workers exorbitant fees, forcing them to continue working when hurt on the job or for 20 hour shifts—withholding pay/future shifts if they don’t.

A new Roosevelt Institute report is sounding the alarm on “Uber for nursing.” Hospitals are using gig apps for nursing, with some nurses paying to bid on shifts and offering to work for less to win those bids. The full extent of this 'gig nursing' is unknown.

A new report by Katie J. Wells & Funda Ustek Spilda for Roosevelt Institute documents the Uber-ization of *nursing.* Hospitals staffing via platforms, nurses submitting to opaque algorithm while bidding against each other for wages & scheduling. So dystopian! rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/u…

We write: “Wall Street’s takeover of US health-care infrastructure and Silicon Valley’s introduction of gig nursing apps are a dangerous duo that is eroding our health-care system and eviscerating our ability to take care of each other.”

Gig nursing apps don’t “fix” health care—they exploit workers and put patients at risk. Lower wages. Zero training. No accountability. Groundwork’s Katie J. Wells: “We have a problem with care. We don’t pay it well enough.” theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…

#Fairwork is happy to announce its partnership with Global Deal!

On-demand nursing apps 📲 provide no real certainty about scheduling & encourage nurses and nursing assistants to work for less pay. The health-care industry is already broken. "Uber for nursing" is reinforcing existing inequalities. The Guardian theguardian.com/us-news/2024/d…

Nurses have fled the profession due to poor working conditions, creating what some people have incorrectly identified as a “nursing shortage.” Gig nursing platforms falsely promise to empower workers & meet their needs while further exacerbating the many issues in health care.
