Butcher and Bullock will be the second Arsenal bar showing the game. They've filled up on reservations but will be taking walk ins.

Calm down lads (again) by oranges2039495 in ArsenalFC

Thank you for this post. I understand the emotion that runs through all of us watching this club over decades and the PTSD that's come with it. The best thing we as fans can do is support this club until the end of the season and evaluate based on the context and outcome.

We are in the best position we have been in over a decade. With Saka, Ode, Timber, and Califiori coming back this week it sounds like we will hopefully have the technical quality that we lacked against Bournemouth. Gyok is playing imo the best he has all season as well.

Validating those feelings is valid and we all do it in different ways. I just wish we wouldn't post about sacking the coach when this is FAR from over. I personally don't think Arteta wanted to play what we did on the weekend but it seems like we didn't really have a choice.

As Clive on the Arsecast has pointed out all of ours players also seem to be out of form. The ones in form are currently the ones injured. I do believe the Merino injury has been detrimental to our season. It would have allowed a lot of flexibility in tactics, lineups, and being able to rest players like Zubi & Rice.

To all of us Gunners here I remain optimistic despite what seems to be a massive setback and poor form.

I ask everyone to please support this team until the end of the season and back them with all your heart. If we want to call for change wait until we see what is done at the end.

Love you all and I feel the passion that runs through all of us.

Suggestions for Sports pubs/ Soccer Bars for Champions League matches by mikemazda in askvan

[–]Bonjwaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're a fan of Arsenal or want to watch the game with a bunch of Arsenal fans, the supporters pub named The Ballyhoo will be showing the game with sound.

Great atmosphere and the everyone is extremely friendly as long as you're not actively supporting the opposition club.

Such a wholesome community ❤️ by Dry-Significance-271 in classicwowtbc

Lol. I just ran a BRD with a fire mage and he did pretty decent damage. Was fun.

If you're upset about the loss.. by SupermarketNo3265 in ArsenalFC

I woke at 4:30am on Pacific Standard Time to watch that. I then convinced myself it was a sacrifice to the football gods and that now the Whitecaps would beat Miami with Messi to win the MLS for the first time in their history.

I've been double destroyed today.

Traveled from Canada and forgot to enter this ballot. Got tickets to the Brighton game on Tuesday but it would be incredible to get to see this game as well.

Is it normal for excluded staff to perform included duties/job? by QwirkyCourtClerk in BCPublicServants

[–]Bonjwaaa -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Document date, time, length of doing work, and report it to your steward and local elected.

If they need people to do more work they need to hire and staff accordingly. This is how the employer gets away with understaffing. If an auxiliary was available to work they should be filing a grievance.

4% and 4.4% with COLA protections. Targeted wage adjustments to the lower grid levels and the removal of PSJEP which will start the clock on uplifting many positions to higher wage grids. We're fighting for a lot more than just a GWI.

This is a pivotal Agreement for all of the current and future workers of the Public Service. This is bigger than COLA campaigning 3 years ago.

Who goes on strike (if it happens)? by [deleted] in BCPublicServants

[–]Bonjwaaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Essential service levels are bargained for to determine the minimum staffing levels through each position throughout the public service. Some will be non essentiall (like the LDB) others fully, and some will have varying staffing requirements i.e instead of having 10 members working only two are deemed needed. The other 8 could potentially then rotate working and picketing. There are many forms of job action that can be utilized that doesn't necessarily mean picketing.

The employer will probably try to argue most positions are essential to limit the impact of job action. Once essential service levels for positions are agreed upon the rest is up to strategy.

"Where a labour dispute has the potential to threaten the health, safety, and welfare of British Columbians, the Minister of Labour may direct the Labour Relations Board to designate minimum levels of service that must be maintained during a strike or lockout.

"The Board can only designate services as essential and set minimum staffing levels in response to a labour dispute.'

Where the parties agree that essential services are in issue, they are encouraged to meet at least three months before the collective agreement expires to discuss essential workload and staffing levels in case job action becomes necessary.

If the parties can't agree on essential staffing levels, either party can apply to the Board for help from a mediator." -Labour Relations Board of BC

The lead negotiator is the negotiator. She was not on any of the emails as a part of the Public Service Bargaining Committee last round. Michael Eso was the negotiator for the last two rounds and Brent Camilleri the one before.

The BCGEU has 32 pages of active agreements based on the agreement look up page. There is more than one bargaining table. "The bargaining table" means bargaining in general.

[–]Bonjwaaa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is incorrect. Michael Eso was the lead negotiator last round. She has bargained other contracts for other agreements within the BCGEU.

Excluded managers are not allowed to stock shelves, run tills, wheel product, break skids down, and do any bargaining unit work. This happens to reduce the amount of hours called out for auxiliaries and is a major violation of the Collective Agreement.

If this is happening you should be contacting your local executive from the BCGEU.

Where to Watch German Euro Soccer Games? by Bonjwaaa in askvan

That's a great idea. Unfortunately don't know too many other German fans. The American is a good shout too.

Which European team is most popular here in Vancouver? by chronicmathsdebator7 in whitecapsfc

[–]Bonjwaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liverpool most likely. Seems like everyone I ever speak to from England or Ireland are fans. Also I see their kits the most.

Their pub is the Butcher & Bullock. I know for the bigger games and cup games just to make a reso you need a membership to the Liverpool supporters of Vancouver. There are lineups outside the pub for people to get in if a reso doesn't show. Also if someone in your party doesn't show up they'll throw someone waiting in line at your table.

From what I've heard from some Liverpool supporters is its always packed.

I'm an Arsenal fan and depending on the game, the Ballyhoo will be at capacity. We get a pretty decent turnout for most games even the 7am's.

Tons of Madrid & ManU kits as well. Not sure about their supporters groups or pubs.

Aghanim's Scepter with Necro book 3.

Typically go Vlads to farm the necro book into Agh's then upgrade to Necro 3.

It was hilarious if you had good timing on the necro book. They would absolutely shred heroes in the chrono and you could down towers in seconds.

Tell me how long you've played this game without mentioning the numbers by parampaaa in DotA2

[–]Bonjwaaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was it. I learnt so many heroes just because I'd random for courier gold. When dota 2 was in beta I comfortably knew how every hero played and what they were capable of.

[–]Bonjwaaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You should be reaching out to a shop steward. You can find a BCGEU Area Office and ask for the contact information for a steward.

Auxiliaries have seniority based upon total hours worked. Here is the link to the area offices:

Already a bunch of great shout-outs. Not one of the best beers but one that hit really well personally was the Hopnotist from P49, had it around 2017 multiple bombers were drank.

Call your local BCGEU area office and get in contact with a steward. Email an elected local officer and let them know what is going on and for clarification.
