APPLETON - It was unclear whether a group of former ThedaCare employees would be allowed to start their new jobs at Ascension Northeast Wisconsin Monday after lawyers for both health systems made their first appearance in court Friday morning.

The uncertainty is the latest development in a battle over health care employees that began late Thursday and is now playing out in court. It comes as staff shortages strain health systems nationwide — nearly one in five health care workers have quit their jobs since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

ThedaCare requested Thursday that an Outagamie County judge temporarily block seven of its employees who had applied for and accepted jobs at Ascension from beginning work there on Monday until the health system could find replacements for them.

The employees were part of an 11-member interventional radiology and cardiovascular team, which can perform procedures to stop bleeding in targeted areas during a traumatic injury or restore blood flow to the brain in the case of a stroke. Each of them were employed at-will, meaning they were not under an obligation to stay at ThedaCare for a certain amount of time.

Outagamie County Circuit Court Judge Mark McGinnis granted ThedaCare's request and held an initial hearing Friday morning. The case will get a longer hearing at 10 a.m. Monday.

Somebody wake me up when Trump is indicted.

I've been a Democrat all my life. I would love to see Trump get indicted. The problem is: it hasn't happened.

I know some of his alleged crimes are complex issues that are defensible and would raise reasonable doubt. And, all it would take is one member of a jury refusing to vote guilty to prevent a conviction.

I don't keep a tally of all of his alleged crimes. But surely, there has to be at least one that stands a good chance of conviction.

So, why hasn't he been indicted?

Wake me up when he's been indicted.
