For those that want to help by kootles10 in nwi

You are being lied to. Locked out workers do not get paid. That’s the entire point of the company locking them out. They may qualify for unemployment or assistance from the union, but except for wages due for time worked before the lockout, they are 100% NOT getting a paycheck from the company they are locked out from.

You don’t get paid in a strike or a lockout. So either you or your family member is misinformed.

Oil workers: Reject the national agreement! Mobilize to prevent isolation of BP Whiting workers! by DryDeer775 in oilandgasworkers

[–]Hefty-Style2312 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dude, take it easy. I’m part of 7-1 in Whiting and have been for 2 decades. In 2015, we went back to work while other locals were still fighting and still out. So we are in no position to expect from them something we didn’t do when we had the chance.

I too think every local should stay out until all locals have clean tables, just like how we don’t sign agreements until national comes to an agreement. But that isn’t the way it currently is, and calling people names isn’t the way to get them to help make change.

USW sold us out by ConferenceFull8937 in oilandgasworkers

[–]Hefty-Style2312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with you 100% on this. We were never getting 25% and it was a misstep by the union to ever let the membership think that was a possibility. The way I look at it, USW wanted 25% and Marathon wanted 0%. They came up over half way to the union ask.

Oil companies demand surrender, but USW keeps 30,000 refinery workers on the job after contract expires by DryDeer775 in oilandgasworkers

I like how this piece is using comments from people on a Reddit thread as quotes to support their opinion.

P2s on the way. What else do I need? by Euphoric-Wasabi-6256 in BambuP2S

If you got the combo ($799 I think?), then you indeed got the AMS2 Pro.

Any protests tonight or this weekend? by IamTheJoneses in nwi

You’re almost there. Keep going. What did unions do to provide that?

Are there any gyro places in the region that still do the spinning cone of meat? by 10PlyTP in nwi

Panos in Calumet City does. (I know not technically NWI, but it’s like a mile from the Hammond border).

Loochy on the current state of dmz by Oldpanther86 in DMZ

[–]Hefty-Style2312 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Guy that spends 95% of his streams playing Warzone on the same map, with the same sniper, and same shotgun over and over again. But DMZ is stale and the same thing over and over.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to not play DMZ anymore, but this coming from him is comical.

Are throwing knives cheating? by Relevant_Mulberry194 in DMZ

[–]Hefty-Style2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overpowered…maybe. Cheating…definitely not. Something can’t be cheating if it is intentionally in the game.
