Even though the title and opening post is probably tongue n cheek, its still a fairly ridiculous proposition.

Very different disputes, the issues are not even on the same end of the spectrum. Pilots are fighting for "job security" however nurses are trying make sure they are not overworked and patient ratios don't blow out due to any changes in the name of flexibility.

I think there are a few legal issues around the FWA unprotected action stop order as well. But heard from the media this morning that the VHIA (employer rep) is seeking a second stop order, maybe one that is worded right this time......

Nurses are still taking care of all critical matters as well, so it's not as if they have a blanket ban on all beds.
