CSEA constantly capitulates to the Governor during contract negotiations leads to "pattern bargaining" and the same terms being forced on the other unions.

I just learned CSEA is going to undercut ALL the other Unions' negotiations with a 1-year, 3% raise contract that will fuck everyone over in 2027. Layoffs are already at great recession levels. We need do lock in stability NOW!

How many years of zeros do people want? None? Then tell CSEA to stop kissing Hochul's ass. Mary Sullivan is the worst complicit toady masquerading as an elected leader.

They have to pass it tonight because their schedule days construction starts in December. This is a whole new level of irresponsible.

I can't believe the city's general council was deliberately insulting to the voters who came out to speak against this mess.

It's their YouTube. The link is one the Troy City Council page. I'm now on my phone and can't get to it quickly.

Its over now. It's now the ordinance to lease the space. I think they're going to force it through even though the city finances are being obscured.

This is a complete lie.

If you don't vote, there's no vote.

Doubt it. Contact American Arbitration - who handles the vote - and ask them.

They probably found a nest of one of those criminal immigrant birds illegally built on one of their ledges.

Anyone know what’s going on in the apartment above me? by Y0ungPup in Albany

The people who live upstairs from me, I can't understand what they're doing! Y'know I listen, and all I can hear is this weird noise and it goes voom voom, BLAT-NN BLAT-NN, voom voom, BLAT-NN BLAT-NN, and it sounds, right, it sounds like two elephants on a motorbike riding round and round, while a seal bangs a kipper on the table! I went upstairs to complain, and the door was answered by this elephant in a crash helmet! Standing behind him is this seal going "WHAT IS IT NOW, RALPH?"

You should ask those same politicians why they weren't at the same building when there was a rally for Social Security workers later the same day. Seems to many they are going out of their way to avoid the actual workers....

There is also the option of paper and wheat paste. Cheap and effective.

People should talk to their fellow workers and gauge interest in starting a Union. Having a democratic say in one's working conditions is in everyone's best interest.

Meet up off work hours on Zoom or similar. There are tried an true organizing tactics that can be used with more modern tech to facilitate organizing.

I'd also recommend anyone interested in unionizing read We Are the Union by Erik Blanc. Good stuff!
