I used to be a bartender. Our owner came in to have a meal with his family before opening. He owned the whole block, including a Mexican restaurant a few businesses down. The owner told the server to get him a margarita from the restaurant. The girl looked at me and kind of chuckled, but he said, 'No, I'm serious.' It was POURING rain. At that point, he was treating her like a servant, not a server. I didn't want to work for someone like that, so I walked out and never looked back.

Helen O'Connor, GMB Membership Development Officer stated: "Our members provide vital services to the patients in both NHS trusts and they are sick and tired of the bullying and harassment, having pay held down and staffing cutbacks." She termed the treatment of outsourced staff as profoundly unfair, calling the discrepancies in pay and benefits between outsourced and directly employed NHS staff into question.

I believe that if OSHA had attempted to investigate the seriousness of the concerns I raised on multiple occasions, this tragedy may have been prevented.
