When I first got hired as a CNA in a nursing home, the other aides went out on a two-day wildcat strike my first week on the job. It was a small facility in Hopkins, Minnesota that had been devastated by COVID; on a good day, our staff-to-resident ratios were 1:12. That meant in the first hour and a half of the day, you were each expected to get 12 elderly people out of bed, cleaned, dressed, and ready for breakfast. You’d always have at least one person to run downstairs in time to get picked up for dialysis.
