As a union nurse (1199) I can assure you all that the travelers making lots of money is NOT the problem, and is only happening rn because for the first time in decades, it is an area where workers are so desperately needed, yet so scarce, that they can basically name their rate and have it honored. This is scaring the shit out of the people at the top, and they want to nip it in the bud before other peasants start to catch on

If you have a SLAY KWEEN (D) rep or a Marjorie Taylor Green adjacent chud rep(R), they are both likely on this

    I'm sure the people who own travel agencies are making bank too, ngl, but travel pay paid off my loans this past year, and was the only way I got fairly compensated for a gruelling understaffed job where I watch people die all day
