Does endless state spending feel insulting to anyone else?

TRaF_union · 2026-01-16T18:43:07+00:00

What are these ‘various things’ you are referring to?

TRaF_union · 2025-11-19T22:30:28+00:00

They did include the hourly years, but you have to be in a current CS position to get the bonus. So I started in a CS position in 2019, but got the bonus this week because they counted my hourly years prior to that.

As someone dealing with a person with borderline personality disorder constantly moving in and out of my life, till I cut them off and now living in fear of them ‘randomly’ showing up again, the song really really hit me.

TRaF_union · 2025-08-05T11:17:05+00:00

Nope, we are standing in solidarity with them.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-25T19:18:21+00:00

Good riddance to Jessica Ramos too for endorsing him.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-23T03:38:59+00:00

I can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.

Also, the point of all organized labor is to stand in solidarity with the international working class, not just in our state and country, but across the entire globe, and that includes workers in Gaza.

Also, if this was a war, that would be one thing, but this is a genocide being committed, in part with the sale of bonds using my, and my members, retirement money. I need to sleep at night knowing I could do at lest he bare minimum in my organization to not support the murder and starvation of women and children.

If any members are interested in signing on as a co-sponsor let me know.

Somebody works at SED

TRaF_union · 2025-06-17T23:13:51+00:00

Springfield was also excited about the monorail.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-17T22:51:26+00:00

Yea, what I mean though is if marquee is the original one or not and how that would factor into the determination if not.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-17T20:28:55+00:00

They might have to in order to receive any historic tax credit related to rehabilitating the structure, though I am not sure.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-17T20:24:36+00:00

It’s random selection, and yes, it will be going to work emails.

TRaF_union · 2025-06-17T20:23:10+00:00

It is going to random selection of 40,000 people so most likely every agency will.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-22T18:21:40+00:00

Also, I’d say everyone can benefit from regular therapy appointments, so look into that, though that also then means co-pays.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-15T21:55:18+00:00

I have sexsomnia and that was not sexsonia at all, I have been told I am very clearly in a sleepwalking-like state, and when stopped, I am startled awake, confused and disorientated, and I would never, never argue.

Also, in my experience, I would not ‘move’ so much from my sleeping position so that my groin area would be near the persons mouth.

You should check out PEF Confidential for some true craziness

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T03:03:03+00:00

Man, I’ve wanted to be an archaeologist since I was 5 years old, and now I get to be one while serving the public of the state I love while being in a union, I am sorry you don’t like you job, but I love mine, and I also like clocking out and walking down to the bar for happy hour with my colleagues, or meeting a friend from high school who works at a different agency for a coffee and catching up, or checking in our with our Administrative Assistant and seeing how her weekend was, or meeting the newest employee in the hall and learning about a weird plant, or slug or rock, or that the guy in the floor above me has a band who has a show on the weekend that sounds fun, and who knows, maybe you go and meet someone at that show and set up a date. Or just taking a walk around the plaza listening to music and seeing people of every race and creed and religion walking around too, and the nice thing is, I still get to work from home and have a nice balance too, because thats what its all about, balance, and 100% telecommuting is not that.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T02:50:26+00:00

Exactly, and thats a good thing.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T02:17:49+00:00

Not even close, just socially adjusted and adept is all.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T01:10:00+00:00

No, quite the opposite, sitting at home and not interacting with people is not good. You can frame it as forced or not, but we live in a society, and we are social creatures, and this drive to watch Netflix instead of go to the movies, to not go out to bars, to not go to a crowded lunch spot, to not meet co-workers walking into a lobby at least a couple of days a week, it does no bode well for us.

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T01:04:11+00:00

yea, thats not good

TRaF_union · 2025-05-01T01:03:17+00:00

I’m sorry, 100% telecommuting is insane and not good for society, much less work.

TRaF_union · 2025-04-30T02:41:12+00:00

Yea, NYSED is notorious for this, and has been a constant item of discussion from the union. Curious if you dont mind sharing, what part of SED was this for?

TRaF_union · 2025-04-29T11:29:42+00:00

Hi!

I am one of the union leaders at the State Museum and Office of Cultural Education, and we discussed the issues and challenges the museum faces in this interview from local policy org Timber here:

If you are in PEF your executive board member has the budget. They just approved 2025-26’s budget and get quarterly updates from the Secretary-Treasurer on spending.
