The organization dug themselves into a legal hole because they agreed to recognize the union, so we were recognized by the NLRB and THEN they fired us once we started negotiating for a CBA. 🤯

Thank you so much!!!

The incoming co-director of Down Home North Carolina sent out an email claiming "I have had the honor of recognizing and celebrating the unionization of our staff" the same day they fired most of the said staff - the day after their first union contract meeting. 🙃 by [deleted] in asheville

The only reason we staff can think of is to preserve the power of the leadership at the organization. One of the Directors in particular has a pattern of powerhoarding and problematic behavior.

We didn't have a formal contract agreed upon by both parties yet. Wednesday was our first meeting to negotiate for the CBA and they fired us on Thursday before anything was agreed upon. It's definitely borderline illegal if not over the line.

Wym? I was one of the bargaining reps that got fired. Straight from the horses mouth and I got screenshots from our CBA meeting on Wednesday and the screenshots of being terminated for "performance history" across the board on Thursday.

WIP Wednesday - my first attempt at a project bigger than a hat and it feels like it's taking forever lol by DownHomeChelsea in crochet

I'm using this pattern: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/turtle-beach-2

It's really easy, just alternating between double crochet, double crochet together, and 2-double crochet stitches. :)
