The premier is already backing down, offering to withdraw the bill that imposed a contract and banned strikes, if CUPE calls off the strike. We're in limbo right now waiting to see the offer in writing and see how the union leadership is going to respond.

They got it in writing, will suspend the pickets for now if the gov goes back to the bargaining table, but if the bullshit continues, the lines come back

drat dude, glad to hear you might get your job back after all this, and it's great to see the NLRB taking your side. I know it's a slim hope, but I hope Verizon don't drag it out with yet more bullshit

I'll believe a UAW higher Ed strike when I see it, they have threatened these kinds of actions a lot and then leadership calls it off at the last second

the santa cruz union was wildcat striking 2 years ago before covid killed it. there is zero shot the ucs come up with a contract that gets accepted by the 14th (strike date). for reference the current union ask is for a cost of living adjustment to move all grad workers out of rent burden (34k to 54k, ~60% increase). The UC "good faith offer" is 7% lol. this ones happening for sure

I was a union worker for many years. I was a steward, chief steward, served on multiple committees including the bargaining committee and bargaining 2 contracts, and served on the executive board for three terms. I watched a strong national union slowly degrade and become a business. I bought into 100% of it. Unity. Solidarity. I bled red.

When union leadership says "the membership are the union" it is an absolute lie. The union leaders at the top have no issue taking your money but are stingy when it comes to spending it on things that do not include a trip for them, extra pay, milage reimbursement, and meals. If the case is not lock down win forget about arbitration.

Education is the key to improving your life and earning more money. Unions are dying and will continue to die. Union leaders live by greed which is what they are allegedly fighting. And don't think there aren't backroom deals. "We want to terminate Joe. Don't push grievances hard on his termination and we will drop our investigation against Sara" Or from the union side "Give us MLK day off with pay and we will drop our NLRB charges based on your manager punishing union members and letting everyone else do the own thing" So much wrong quid pro quo.

I started a union job with a college education. My mistake was staying there. I work a non-union job now and make much more money, great benefits, and zero drama in the workplace. No more "Us vs Them" mentality,

Get an education in a needed field if you want a better life. A NEEDED FIELD. Not what you like. Unless you can make a business that makes money from your hobbies you need an education in a field in demand. For the majority of the world the things we like to do are hobbies. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy your work but you may not love it. And thats perfectly OK! That why we have hobbies!

There will always be those who have much more and much less than everyone else. Its been that way since the beginning of time. It will always be that way. Union jobs, as a whole, have more people with stress related issues and out on FMLA. Its common sense you are not going to live large working at McDonald or Starbucks. Those jobs are for college kids and teenagers not for supporting yourself and a family.

I am not trying to sound cold or cold hearted but some people seem to think they are worth more than they are and have no real education. And these same people, many times, have bad credit and extreme debt. And typically it is not medical bills. Get an education and live responsibly and you will have everything you need and most of what you want!

yea illinoispolicy dot org is hella gross, but the insane thing is that the one-paragraph amendment only makes “right to work” laws contrary to the state constitution. that’s all it does, protect from Chud governor overreach.
My current state Tennessee just added right to work directly to the constitution. I voted against it but it's a red southern state.

This could eventually lead to my local having to compete with lower paid, no insurance or retirement benefit workers and let them get their foot in the door at our 2 giant government gigs we have locally.
