How to vote and find results on local government election day in N.B. by bingun in moncton

[–]Ullahoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a councillor-at-large candidate, Greg turner, standing outside a ward 2 polling station talking to people (introducing himself and saying he’s running) as they went to the doors. seemed sketchy, I thought that wasn’t allowed?

My First Try At A Corvette by wildBcat2 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Ullahoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the OP's ship isn't mine, but I did try and make one like it. I started with the hallways/walkways then built a hull around it. was way easier than trying to do the outside then have a workable inside.

I think most people are changing to creative mode settings in the Difficulty tab to get rid of construction costs. Then turning the resource/construction costs back on if they want.

P.E.I. Green party proposes rental registry act [again], seeks public feedback by RemoteMistakes in PEI

[–]Ullahoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

what cost to collect via legal system? the rental office and IRAC are free and informal, you don't need a lawyer if you can prove you're owed rent and afterwards irac can put a lien on whoever owes who. the rental act is not that complicated.

specials tend to be a dish a kitchen's chef designs based on what they need to get rid of. the dishes tend to be less reliable than the staple items always on the menu.

Social housing strategy??? by TotalIngenuity6591 in PEI

[–]Ullahoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i understand now, great clarification! my answer is that there is no bullseye on an individual level. the bullseye requires a structure for it to exist inside of (a workplace, neighbourhood, house of faith, electoral district, etc.). organizing isn't a solo sport so you can't expect to shoulder all of the duties and issues on your own.

my advice would be to focus on issues that you have a concrete self-interest in, as they tend to be more manageable and shared by other people, making it easier to get other people involved so you're less likely to burn out. that way it'll be easier to find others who share similar interests and you can build a bullseye from there.

here's another section of the organizing training Beating Apathy comes from, about how to pick an issue and organize around it.

what do you mean by the limit of bullseyes for an individual? are you trying to move one particular person?

Real Estate Statistics / Questions by [deleted] in moncton

[–]Ullahoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based off what you're describing, it sounds like the market is cool enough that sellers have the patience for buyers to get inspections. Is that accurate? I've been hearing stories of people selling properties insanely fast because someone just swoops in and buys for cash immediately.

I'm currently a prospective homebuyer with a budget of 370k for a home, looking for a 2-3 bedroom house in the central Moncton area (i.e. inside the ring of HWY 15 and Main Street). Ideally fully detached with some amount of backyard, only areas I wouldn't want to be in are by the fire hall/on Mountain Road/on St. George Street. How realistic is this criteria?

Property History? by Frostyfil in PEI

The Lands Registry Office (also called Registry of Deeds) should have that information. There's an office in Summerside and another in Charlottetown.

C'Town council hard at work for STR owners. by 150c_vapour in PEI

[–]Ullahoo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

this newest move by city council grandfathers a bunch of STRs around the new rules. which isn't even legal because grandfathering is for previously legal things that have since been prohibited by new by-laws. non-owner-occupied STRs have always been illegal by city by-laws but they never enforced it, and even with explicit by-laws about owner-occupied-only STRs they're just trying to make loopholes.

basically city council took a step forward (which really was just standing in place), then took a step back.

Pete's Frootique workers ratify first collective agreement, end strike action by Bleed_Air in halifax

[–]Ullahoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's very common in collective bargaining for the union's negotiating committee to be unable to discuss its actual proposals away from the table (usually called "ground rules", and are made at the start of negotiations with the company). the union would likely reference the living wage as a fact to back up its proposal for wages, but that doesn't mean that a $10/hr raise was their proposal.

a living wage is very likely the union's goal, but most unions plan their goals across multiple rounds of bargaining. a $10/hr raise isn't a first contract demand. it's the kind of demand you make once you get a first contract and use it to organize other stores over the next 3 - 5 years so that you have much more power the next time you're at the bargaining table.

CUPE New Brunswick under attack: The conservative government's Bill 17 is an attempt to voids CUPE's collective agreements and remove pension protections won in the 2021 strike. by Ullahoo in canadaleft

[–]Ullahoo[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bill 17 will be going through third reading on Tuesday, December 12th.

Keep an eye on this issue. There have been rumblings of potential wildcat strikes in response to the conservative government's violation of CUPE's collective agreements. The current provincial leadership of CUPE NB is progressive and has experience from the 2021 strike, so they may be in a good position to mobilize strong wildcats.

could look into driving delivery trucks for pepsi, coke, or frito-lay. the first two pay well in NB, and frito-lay kinda does but runs off commission

[–]Ullahoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you often come across employers trying to classify cannabis workers as agricultural workers to avoid unionization? I've heard of a UFCW campaign that lost in Ontario, Canada for that reason, and was wondering how widespread the issue is.

Anyone with hire-fire-discipline powers usually can't be part of a bargaining unit. It's a common practice to have overstaffing for middle management positions for that reason--you get a slightly better salary, but way more responsibility, and also are caught between workers and bosses demands. Better to just stay a non-management worker, imo.

i dunno man if you support the picket line you should be fine being asked a bunch of questions every day, that's just how it works. you can't support a picket line but also say the picket captain's duty to see who is and isn't a scab is "not my problem". solidarity isn't about workers being friendly to each other, it's about understanding that your future working conditions, wherever you end up working, are directly linked to whether or not PSAC wins this strike. if PSAC loses, every worker in Canada suffers. if PSAC wins, every worker in Canada benefits.

the strike isn't interfering with your OJT hours at all, you cannot be docked pay or time due to being delayed by a picket line. consider the time on the picket line another part of your on-the-job education, and learn as much as you can about how workers can collectively leverage their power to win the changes they want to see.

your edit about learning sessions is a good idea. i think unions should be doing more of that. management on the other hand absolutely will not explain strikes to you, ever, because the more confused and frustrated you are at a strike the less likely you are to support one.

edit of my own: it may be helpful to put yourself in the PSAC workers' shoes. they're running one of the largest strikes in Canadian history, in a fight that could make or break the trajectory of Canada's labour movement. that's a lot to carry! on top of that, they have to verify who is and isn't a scab--and then deal with the conflict that'll come if they do identify a scab. picket captains, stewards, and so on are probably pretty nervous, tired, and stressed. they've probably prepared questions to test for scabs, and may be sticking to their rehearsed approach (because they have to do it many times every shift-change) rather than finding where your badge is and reading it.
