Wild thing happening in Montana:
MT GOP is refusing to allow retention bonuses to be sent to Montana nurses and instead only wants them sent to out of state recruits.
Why? A blatant attempt to harm union workers & pay to bus in new voters who are anti-vax & anti-mask.

MT GOP policies have been consistently harming Montana’s frontline healthcare workers.
From prohibiting hospitals from enacting vaccine requirements to preventing communities to enforce mask usage to using the highway patrol to intimidate hospital’s medical decisions...

The goal has been clear: divide our communities and turn them against public health workers - all for a zealot political ideology.
This has led to massive amounts of healthcare staff exodus from the profession and the state.

There’s been a struggle to recruit workers to come here because why would they want to subject themselves to political zealots interfering with their jobs and public health decisions?
So now we have tons of openings that we can’t fill and tons of workers at the end of their rope

It’s also not a coincidence that many of Montana’s nurses and healthcare staff are unionizing at the highest rates we’ve seen in decades.
The last thing the MT GOP wants to do is send retention bonuses to union workers.

So instead they want to use our taxpayer money to recruit the small amount of anti-vax, anti-mask, anti-science healthcare workers out there that rightly are out of employment for putting political ideology over public health.
It’s all just incredibly corrupt and anti-Montanan.

I should also add that they are doing this in the middle of a Montana statewide housing and overall affordability crisis.
Idk - maybe we should focus on Montana workers and try to hire local? #mtpol

Just a heartbreaking story happening up here in the Flathead. Our government is yet again failing working people.
