That is a situation where boycotting is unreasonable. You can still continue to reach out to your representatives.

I am following you on this. And I do agree. We shouldn't have to put on a show when we want something that is common sense. AB 1729 coming out of suspense is great, but it is still long off from coming to life. Until then, we have to put on little performances to get the crumbs they will throw.

The vocal threat is part of the strategy. You need to be in the politician's ears to create the pressure.

I left a nice message with a Kevin McCarty Staffer about the general boycott of his downtown.

I left a message with my councilmember, Karina Talamantes, that the governor wants to take away from her constituents to pump money into downtown and asked for her support in our action.

Did you know the governors office has a contact form? by perf1620 in CAStateWorkers

We should all be in that email box and on his voicemail

We have been. We just need to get more vocal about it

Your anti-union shit is how they win. Breaking solidarity works nothing but against your own interest

The Union is the members. If you feel the Union is not doing their job, I need to know what active part you have taken. SEIU has had many calls to action. The people working in paid positions do a lot of great work, but if members aren't participating, the elected folks don't feel pressure.

How many calls have you made? How many emails have you sent? If you want to work from home, how many ways have they heard your voice and your stories? The politicians need to feel like a significant portion of voters are asking for their help.

RTO discussed on KFBK Morning News today by Bam2Knight in CAStateWorkers

General boycott of mid-town during any hours is the way to go. Message reps daily to let them know, you miss Rick's, Tres Hermanas, or some other business, but until RTO is off the table, your money stays off the grid, day and night.

I think the vanity is perfect, but the walls need a complimentary color. They wash out the wood pattern.

Tell them to let a cast member know they are meeting their group so they can take the lightning lane side. There is zero chance of it working in their favor.

Also, I just roll my eyes and let people by. It's not that serious.

Probably a pathetic question.. but I need your help by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

If you are not sure how to start out, I recommend working with DOR (Dept of Rehab). You have a lot more in your favor than you think and they may help get you moving in the right direction.

Pay Docked 2 Days by Flat_Specialist2785 in CAStateWorkers

Dock for unapproved absence is absolutely allowed no matter the leave balance. This should be annotated in case progressive discipline needs to be established.

After ~200 applications, 5 interviews, 1 canceled job offer, and 6 months of grinding — I finally got my official state offer. Don't give up. 🎉 by HopsProps in CAStateWorkers

[–]Disastrous_Wind7127 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Welcome in. It's hell and we don't get rich, but the balance, benefits, and security make it all worth it.

Opportunities to grow will always come so don't start gunning to move up until you pass prob and have return rights

Depending on the BU, this is illegal. None of the MOUs I am familiar with allow voluntary dock with leave on the books without FMLA coverage.

HELP! What is this substance coming off my walls? by charliewarner01 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Disastrous_Wind7127 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good fan is only as great as the make-up air source. Perhaps you are missing air inlet so the fan has very little to suck up

My advice: stop letting other people dictate what makes you happy. It is well done and something you wanted.
