as cool as it is that people are on strike at the schools, and that teachers are on solidarity strike with them (which i thought was illegal??), i still hate these announced-duration strikes. CWA did it when i worked for AT&T and i think they're pointless media events. https://twitter.com/KNXBaird/status/1638151299475865601

Love how the French President broke his silence by saying "Do you think I wanted to do this?" and having some tantrum about "I had to do this! Don't you understand! There was no other option!" And it really feels like everyone went "Yes. Yes we all think you wanted this. gently caress off with this whiny bullshit."

what's. uhhhh. whats the deal with this guy https://paydayreport.com/uaw-challenger-fain-purges-top-allies-in-favor-of-brooklyn-consultants/ However, Payday Report has learned Fain has already fired his previously-chosen chief of staff, Joe Rioux, and most of his previously chosen top senior staffers. The mass firings come after Rioux and former top Fain’s staffers raised concerns about racial diversity in their leadership and the top-down nature of a controversial Brooklyn-based union consultant and “labor media famous” 35-year-old labor writer named Chris Brooks. After other staffers voiced similar concerns, Fain also fired top allies, including Anna Bakalis, Jonathan Smuckler, Sarah Saheb, and Allison Troy. Later, Susan Pratt chose to resign in solidarity with them. Rioux addressed concerns regarding the dismissal of Fain’s previously selected senior leadership team and its implication for the UAW reform movement in a 5-page memo written on Feb. 22, after his dismissal. In the memo, Rioux drew particular issue with the role of the controversial Brooklyn-based union consultant, Brooks, who currently serves as the field director of the extremely influential New York NewsGuild. Brooks, a well connected labor social media influencer, played a key role in helping Fain garner votes among the 1/3rd of the union’s membership that is now made up of university graduate student employees. However, among Black labor leaders, Brooks has never been very popular. Fain’s senior top staffers had expressed their concern about naming an inexperienced social media savvy former labor writer to a top leadership position with the very racially diverse UAW. The union’s current incumbent president, Ray Curry, is a 58-year old Black man from North Carolina. In June of 2022 Brooks drew heavy criticism when he dismissed the possibility that Black Lives Matter was inspiring a massive upsurge of strike activities, leading prominent Black labor leaders to criticize him in an extended piece for Payday Report.

I've been asked to take over as shop steward at my workplace starting in August. which is cool, but also like some very real responsibility I will have for the well-being and compensation of my colleagues and I'm pretty nervous. By far my biggest concern is my language skills- I'm a migrant to Switzerland and our workplace (and especially management) operates mostly in Hochdeutsch, but some of the departments' union reps communicate mostly in Scheizerdeutsch. Right now I'm a lot less confident in German and less capable of being adversarial because I'm always second-guessing my comprehension. Guess I'll need to hire a tutor if I really want to get serious. e: also I'm still catching up on a whole new world of labor laws and regulations lol webcams for christ has issued a correction as of 20:02 on Mar 24, 2023 |

lmao tell me how you feel about Swiss German without telling me how you feel about Swiss German yeah it's a nice vote of confidence in my communication skills to be asked, especially by the current steward who is 10+ years senior, but also arguing with management all the time isn't exactly something many of my colleagues are dying to do.
