I am currently working at a facillity that continiously uses mandation as a resolution to their staffing issues. I am stuggling to find out if there are any labor laws against this. The mandation has occurred many, many times to every RN in our critical care unit. Last Christmas myself and a co-worker were mandated to work 16 hours. No upper management were there. No compensation was offered and we were also told if we didnt come back in for our 7am shift the next day we would be penilized our holiday pay. Is this happening all across the state? Is this common practice at other facillities? Some one please help if you know of any laws or if you can tell me if its like this everywhere like the management tells us. Thanks. Nurse Loo
