Hospitals operate 24×7. Someone has to work those shifts. Usually it ends up being the employee with the least seniority. What's the alternative?

The problem is not that they had to work on those days.

The problem is that they had two consecutive shifts.

The alternative is that the hospital hires enough people so they can schedule them such that everybody has time to go home relax and sleep after they are done with a shift.

My first year at the movie theater I had to work Christmas Eve, Day, New years eve and day, all for minimum wage. People are just more entitled now a days.

Did you go home and sleep between working on on new years eve and new years day? If yes then what you had is not what the complaint is about.
