When does sacrifice become exploitation? When they strip you of your health insurance because you asked to get paid an average wage.
In this episode we go inside the University of Buffalo Resident's strike. Of the 830 residents in their union and 93% of them voted to allow a strike. In the interview we talk through the arguments, the negotiations, the intimidation, and the lawsuits (plural).
Our guests are Lauren Lucente, a 4th year psychiatry resident at the University of Buffalo, and Amanda Duggan, a second year medicine/pediatrics resident. They were two of the many residents who are fighting a multi-billion-dollar healthcare system to give them average wages, the healthcare benefits they were promised, time off for chemotherapy, and even clean sheets in the call room
