Workers leave as job dissatisfaction grows
Demands for improved pay and workplace environments are coming from workers in California to New York. Hospitals and coffee businesses have had workers stage strike action and go on protest. The events are related to a recent Gallup study that revealed half of the workers experience stress, and one in five struggle with anger or melancholy during the day.
A San Bernardino, California air freight facility saw more than 150 Amazon employees leave their jobs on Monday in protest of unsafe working conditions and a $5 pay hike. In California, more than 2,000 Kaiser Permanente employees who provide mental health treatment are now on strike. They claim their workload has reached a breaking point. On Monday, over 15,000 nurses in Minnesota approved a strike.
According to the Gallup State of the Global Workplace study, unhappy and distracted employees cost the global economy $7.8 trillion in productivity loss. As per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 415,000 fewer staff employed in the United States this summer compared to the summer before.
