Hospital Sues At-Will Workers for Getting Better Jobs

[Effete Snob]

6. The suit is not against the employees

The suit is an unfair competition suit brought by one hospital against the other hospital alleging unlawful recruiting practices.

Ascension is hiring the entire unit from the plaintiff, and they are saying it is simply a coincidence that all the employees in that unit just happened to respond to an employment ad.

The employees are not even parties to the suit. The subject line of the OP is misleading and incorrect. You can tell by reading the post:

——

APPLETON - It was unclear whether a group of former ThedaCare employees would be allowed to start their new jobs at Ascension Northeast Wisconsin Monday after lawyers for both health systems made their first appearance in court Friday morning.

——

Notice how it says “lawyers for both health systems”? Notice how it doesn’t mention anything about the employees or their lawyers being in court?

That’s your first clue the OP subject line is false. The lawsuit is not against the employees.
