Related: About this forumThe problem with Zuckerberg/Wells Fargo Hospital
http://www.48hills.org/2016/02/25/the-problem-with-zuckerbergwells-fargo-hospital/I just spent an hour with the nurses and their allies at a rally in front of Zuckerberg General Hospital, near Wells Fargo Plaza. The nurses, members of SEIU Local 1021, are protesting staffing levels, saying the brand new facility hasnt hired enough trained clinical workers to provide adequate patient care....
Its kind of crazy we are putting all this money into a shiny new facility, and we cant hire enough staff to make it safe for workers and patients?
Some of the nurses are also upset that a hospital that was largely paid for with taxpayer money, through a very large bond act, is now named after the founder of Facebook and part of the grounds bears the name of Wells Fargo Bank.
Sasha Cuttler, an RN and union member who wrote about this for 48hills, told me that he doesnt like the idea of selling the name of a public hospital but he has a larger concern. See, Facebook has been doing research on users, in fact, Facebook data was used for a major study on emotional contagion that is, whether emotional states can be transferred to others . leading people to experience the same emotions without their awareness.
