School nurse forced to resign over ebola fears and she hasn't even been to a country

[thereisnospoon]

A lawyer for what? Paid leave is no hardship or violation. Your employer, has the perfect right to instruct you to sit in a closet for 8 hours per day if that's how he defines your job. If you no longer like the duties of this job, then you can quit.

That's not how her job is defined, dope.

How a job is defined is not up to a vote between employer and employee. The employer defines the job. If the employer says you must take a 3 week paid leave, then that's part of the job.

Not that simple. Putting her on 3 weeks of leave would cause her to have to play catch up with her class. If her class underperforms it could count against her on a review. Just the threat of an attorney would have probably made the school back down.

The threat of an attorney would have very likely made school officials laugh in her face.

With respect to the scenario that you concocted for this teacher, you can't sue based on a potential bad outcome, she'd have to wait for the end of the year for a bad performance review and then she'd have some basis in fact for suing the school.

I never said anything about suing. I said it would have been smart for her to hire an attorney to direct her towards the best course of action. The hiring of an attorney would have made the school think more than twice about the results of their actions. I guarantee you laughing would be the last thing they would do.

Stop it. When one hires an attorney on the belief they were wronged or harmed, they are planning to file a civil action. DUH.

That may be your experience as a person of low intellect and economic status but I use attorneys all the time for advice. Only a completely naive moron thinks the only reason you get an attorney is to sue someone. They provide services such as contract review for starters.Whenever I purchase a car I have a professional review my contract instead of pretending I know what the contract says. I always save thousands of dollars.

Also, the school nurse is probably under a contract that will state what her duties are.

Thank God they fired her.

Thousands of Americans have already died from Ebola.

Just like the hysterics said would happen by now.

She's trained as a nurse but hired as a teacher.

where ebola has broken out.

Pure nuttery has taken over the country.

T"he school had asked Sherman to take a paid "precautionary leave" of absence of 21 days upon her return from her trip after "strong parent concerns" about Ebola. It also asked Sherman, who is a registered nurse, to provide a doctor's note stating she was in good health.

There have been no reported cases of Ebola in Kenya. Indeed, the archdiocese, in a statement released last month regarding Sherman's trip, noted that the Kenyan village where Sherman was working — the remote village of Migori — is "in Eastern Africa, thousands of miles from West Africa, where the main outbreak of the virus is located.""

Parents Ebola fears push Catholic teacher to quit

They did this with AIDS too.

Private school...they can hire and fire at will....but teachers don't need tenure.....nope.

Why would teachers need tenure? McDonalds fry cooks don't get tenure. Wal-mart store managers don't get tenure. Exxon accountants don't get tenure. Apple marketing managers don't get tenure.

How many innocent people's lives were you willing to sacrifice so that you could crow about not being afraid of AIDS infected people?
