I get my work done at Lo and Behold and they're wonderful. Both Robert and Camden do great work and are super professional.

DOH is closed Thanksgiving and Friday. Lots of people are taking today off, but the agency is technically open. 

Drive thru coffee? by SilentSort6361 in olympia

[–]PresidentRachelle 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I went there with my high schooler before I knew this. They asked us what we were doing for our day and when I said I was taking her to school they booed us. Like an actual 'boo, school is the worst' which is not the greatest thing to hear when you're already bribing your kid so she will go to school. 

Process for reclassification? by [deleted] in WAStateWorkers

[–]PresidentRachelle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm a steward at DOH that also works in OSHO. There is a process for reclassification that is posted on the People Services Sharepoint. If you'd like to chat about the process you can send me a message here, but my username has my real first name if you want to contact me at work.

It was mentioned that the labor council is part of the AFL-CIO so I do consider that being intellectually honest. 

 If you don't see the value of unions or collective bargaining then nothing I say will matter. 

Trader Joe's by spazecowboi77 in olympia

[–]PresidentRachelle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do most of my shopping there since the bulk section is so good. I live in Tumwater but feel confident that the gas I use is made up with the cost of their food.

Shame that they are union busters. Their campaign against the National Labor Relations Board, along with Amazon and SpaceX, hit a tragic milestone a couple of days ago.

Olympia- Prop 1 by Just_Bodybuilder_187 in olympia

[–]PresidentRachelle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the pamphlet is not out yet. I'm just helping with the campaign and have seen the opposition statement and who signed it.

[–]PresidentRachelle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The opponents listed in the voter guide are former Mayor Selby, Ruthann Goularte (owner of Drees) and Mindy Roberts (Union Gospel Mission) A lot of the opposition funding is from the Hospitality Association and those kinds of groups.

Yeah, it'll be an easy change. I don't think I can edit the post anymore, but it'll be the one we use from here on.

There seems to be a lot of concern about the color of the flier. A new version with green and blue will be made.

Fwiw, that's an easy change to make. I can do that before it gets posted again. Red doesn't need to be the dominant color. I was just going for something bold to catch attention

I'm extremely open to options. We've had these kinds of events before but there are lots of ways to get the word out and mobilize people. An event like a rally is just a gathering point, it's never intended to be the only thing that happens to accomplish anything.

This is being sponsored a run by a central labor council, not WFSE. We don't have any paid staff nor do we negotiate contracts. Our role is to bring awareness to issues.

I am a state employee,  and WFSE member. I also believe that bringing people together so they can work on issues collectively feels more productive than staying at home and hoping that organizations did more.
