I was wondering how this court case was going to go. My instinct was that the court would grant some very temporary injunction on them leaving, which will instantly be extended and re-extended into perpetuity because now their employer has no motive to really try to hire anyone.
Since they now can't quit they can be abused even more!
Doesn't sound like the people in question are actually going to be forced to continue working for the company they quit.
Quitting is pretty easy to do.
The question in the court case is whether these people can work for the second group. In a case of "poaching", if there are unscrupulous acts by the second company, then the first company can claim some damages.
People can be restricted from working for a competitor if there are circumstances where the continuity of work can harm the first company. For example, going from one software development company to a competing one, and taking trade secrets or other information learned from the first. This is where non-competes can actually be upheld for a finite time.
In the case of a hospital, where most of the work is common knowledge for the trade, going from one hospital to another would only lead to logistical problems and not trade secrets (I would guess).
Sounds like the incompetent judge is thinking that the poaching effect created some harm, and would like the two sides to determine how to settle it. The workers may just be caught in the crossfire - and are now in limbo, working for neither company.
Once upon a time Exxon Mobil tried to bring in subcontractors to work in petrol refineries and sack their in house specialist maintenance workers. Entire western suburbs of Melbourne lost their shit and every petrochem refinery in the west got picketed.
Now we got power station workers refusing to work unless they get paid enough to buy a small house every year, a government owned dockers union who take money from china both directly in wages and indirectly on the same 'broken container' scam they were brought in to stop, and the CFMEU paid their own Commanche enforcers to look like complete fucking retards by showing up to 'counterprotest' half a million tradeys.
On a side note 1% bikies in australia are fucking hilarious...
Just a thought about this, i think i can see what theyre doing -
First, if you ban medical people from working for other medical places, then (incorrectly thinking within their rules) they dont work unless they accept illegal instructions knowing they cant go off somewhere else, but leaves out a parallel economy situation where they just dont go back into these 'certified' type hospitals which if its a real medic with a real passion for healing they will do.
Second, if individual major hospitals with ethical management (they may appear or may exist) genuinely have been stopping their staff doing illegal things and have kept all the records and investigations, they get an influx of staff from other hospitals all with stories of medical malpractice that then becomes common knowledge not among regular normies, but actual qualified medical staff with a bit of pull.
Either way government clowns and criminal cunts arent going to get things the way they think they are.
i also love having my own roof over my head so now i kind of have to get another one, i put up with shit for a while just like i spent most of my years to keep the roof over my head, and then when people start going to jail i go back the job i used to have that i loved... or best case myself and two others that got illegally sacked take over the company we used to work for.

They're stroke and trauma nurses anyway, not respiratory specialists
And the Judge Mark McGinnis has been in the news for issuing bizarre judgements in the past, so he's got something wrong in his head.
