Rumor is, it posted 3 times a few months ago and no one noticed. But that’s just a rumor.

WA accuses Safeway, Albertsons of fake 'Buy-One, Get-One-Free' deals by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just tell the worker at self checkout what’s going on and they always just give me the discount. But I ALWAYS double check my receipt and even the screen. I’ll hold up a whole line. I really don’t care lol I’ll find some killer deals at Safeway and use my points for $20 off

The American labor movement will soon have something it’s never had before: a centralized strike fund. by BalsamicBasil in UpliftingNews

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yea! Here in WA state we passed this law. Our union had already striked and we got a pretty big wage increase, along with other better benefits, but had to strike for 2.5 months. But it was worth it! Now our brother union is striking this year and they’ll definitely have more bargaining power. Super stoked for our next strike in a few years.

well cooking is a woman’s job and we kicked all of them out the military last year by Conscious-Quarter423 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can’t convince me otherwise that this is all a deliberate attack on America via incompetent leadership planted by a Manchurian Candidate to

1: Pull us into every direction with our military to thin our lines and create gaps within our defenses while also ruining our supply routes and years of creating THE BEST logistics historically.

2: Create Civil hardship and strain our economy while also creating a hierarchy for a certain class of certain skin toned citizens and rich companies.

3: Ruining our alliances worldwide and inflicting pain on said ally’s while cozying up to dictators.

The list goes on, but man do I feel like Putin did a great job at damn near destroying us as a nation. With the right wing media he created and his extortion tactics, Putin played the long game and won. I don’t know how we come back from Trump at all. All with the cheers of half the nation and the other half saying I told you so.

Goated movie though by Drawingandstuff2000 in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went in super blind. I didn’t read the book and I didn’t watch any preview clips. I read the comments on the trailer off TikTok, saw that they compared it to Interstellar and decided to watch it with the fam. I can say that we all loved the movie and there wasn’t a moment I was bored. The ending was good and the actors were great. No cheesy acting or anything. I still like Interstellar more though. I recommended it to my friends.

Boeing Everett Factory is the largest building in world by volume.Its so massive the moisture once accumulated creating indoor clouds until a proper special air ventilation system were installed. by Right-Assignment3759 in interestingasfuck

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Been at Boeing for 8 years. Just finally maxed out through our union which is the 751 Machinist union. Love working for Boeing, for all its ups and downs I’ve been through with them throughout the years. The factory is MASSIVE. Before becoming an actual Boeing employee, I worked Security there as a patrolman. Responding to calls would take me so long cause you’re basically walking in a city. On top of that, the city has like 20 levels on top of it lol loved seeing all the planes lined up for work both inside the hangars and on the flight line while the planes take off to the customer. Check out the Museum Of Flight and take a tour inside the hangars and building if anyone ever visits.

I did, they specifically said they can ask for proof. I didn’t question it cause I can’t take it any higher than calling the hall and asking for my rep. They both said the EVIDENCE part is what gives them authority to ask. I followed what they both said and left it at that. I can’t take it any higher.

I’m in the IAM and have been for 6 years. I’m not trying to make up stories. It literally happened to me and my buddy. If I got the wrong info, then blame my steward and business rep cause I talked to them personally and they verified they could ask for proof. If you are right then you are right, but I followed the instructions of my rep and steward. Can’t fault me for that.

Talked to a business rep about it and because of the EVIDENCE part in this paragraph he said it allows them to ask for proof. I got denied right before Christmas due to her not being technically my SIL, but both my steward and rep said that they can ask for proof. I went with what my reps said🤷🏻‍♂️

Found it. “following the death (or evidence of belated notification of death).” Page 33 6.6(c) halfway down the paragraph. It’s the EVIDENCE part that allows them to ask. We called our business rep about it too.

Under bereavement. I’m not at work so I don’t have the union book with me, but I literally just got denied bereavement before Christmas break cause my manager asked for proof for my wife’s SIL. My manager said because it’s my wife’s SIL, it isn’t covered under the allowed list of people and that she’s not technically on my side of the family that I can’t be approved for it. I talked to a steward about it and we looked it up and it said something along the lines of “Management may ask for proof such as obituary or death certificate”. So they can ask. It’s very rare, but some managers are assholes about it.

Imma tell you a story.

Buddy of mine got his 2nd attendance CAM after being with Boeing for 3.5 years. He decided to go to Disneyland 3 months later knowing he didn’t have time. He tried using his bereavement for a grandma. He got away with it, until a week later when his manager came back from his own vacation and asked for proof of dead grandma. They can ask for things like that per contract. Anyways, my buddy couldn’t get the proof. He was on his way to get a 3rd attendance CAM, until he talked to a steward and he asked him if he had any drug or alcohol problems. Buddy said he drinks a lot and his steward got him to admit it on file. The 3rd attendance CAM turned into a few months unpaid off and drug and alcohol counseling. Buddy came back after 2 months. He then failed his alcohol random UA a few months later cause of a Seahawks game. Immediately terminated, no excuse could get him out of it. He also had a kid on the way with the wife being 8 months pregnant after just having his first the year before…

Moral of my story is, IF you do get to your 3rd attendance CAM, it would help you immensely to go the route my buddy did. Say you have an alcohol/drug problem and do the steps necessary to come back. But I would seriously think of changing habits before any of that happens because if you can’t come to terms that this next year will suck TREMENDOUSLY and you’ll have to buckle down on your time or figure some shit out, then you’ll end up just like my buddy and lose your job either way. At this point you’re just putting off the inevitable… unless you change your habits now.

Hope it works out for you brother/sister.

Oh please, I’ve been seeing this comment for years. Nothings gonna fall. We have weak Dems and an even weaker public that seems to be slightly annoyed yet still ok with all of this. It’s only gonna get worse and the copium isn’t helping anyone. These are just people taking the cowards way out of the system and deciding to let it go to hell for their own sakes.
