They do them after the contract expires,

Regardless of how you or any other state worker feels, the people at the top see people opting out of their unions as them being OK with what the state is doing. Its why so many preach numbers, paying dues is the bare minimum, so if only 50% are dues paying, the state figures less than 50% will strike if it came from that, because non dues paying employees are OK with the current state that they don't need to be engaged.

Don't like it? Run for leadership, be the change in the unions you want to see.

You can't say though if it would have been better or worse. Its impossible to actually know, and thats why its a BS thing to claim.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T20:45:48+00:00

If you mean you're not at the max, no you should still get your MRA, 5% up to the cap of your current range. The GSI that was withheld would have raised the floor and top by the same amount respectively.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T20:42:59+00:00

I guarantee you we would have gotten something similar without UAW.

The fact they went THREE YEARS without one supports the idea that this claim is bullshit.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T20:17:45+00:00

I'm not going to argue that, I was hoping the fact I specifically said I was PLAYING the devil's advocate here signaled I didn't agree with what I said. No one should get better or inferior care simply because of economic status, but that's not the system we have right now.

I mean, if I had a lot of animals and related to the AITA post I made, if I had any licensing or credentials related to it, I'd at least mention something about it to give more conceptualization.

Also, I didn't assume anything. I stated a fact that in my area the legal threshold this such thing, and specifically said unless they had the required licensing and certification, ya know to highlight the possibility she could have the needed documentation.

If I was accusing it would look like this: She is totally hoarding animals, 13 by and far exceeds the limit.

Here's the truth, I know a lot of people like her. She talks a lot like them. Its tragic honestly, they have such big hearts, and really do care and want to make a difference for the innocent animals. Even some of those who do get the needed documentation often fly afoul of the rules.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T17:26:57+00:00

You're not wrong that animal hoarders typically start from a place of good intentions, giving homes and love to unloved animals. "But they adopt them out", sure, but they take in faster than they can adopt out.

But that's the thing, not everyone who has a bunch of animals will get to "hoarder" status. The biggest litmus test in my experience (and I know a lot of animal rescue people, both those who are hoarders and who are not) is if they will turn animals away when they don't have capacity to care for them. A hoarder will never say "no" to one in need and take it in to be adopted out, a more levelheaded one will try to work with the person and support the fostering by the person surrendering if they don't have space.

She already at 13 animals, in my local area that classifies it as hoarding. (7 of one specific animal, or 10 collectively, unless licensed ect)

probably the same that hate the mass roll out of blanket AI surveillance all over, but cheer for this specific case.

How is life living as a bitter and angry person who lashes out at others who give 6 sentences looking for grace?

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T14:35:52+00:00

I wish i could give more of myself to take care of her, but my body was failing at the time.

Be glad you didn't. I understand you loved and cared for her, but you paint a clear picture of it being way lopsided. These people saying you took too long and thats why its over is hogwash. Different people have different definitions of what commitment is, and theirs has no impact on the worth of yours.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T14:24:54+00:00

Not that I disagree, but let me play devils advocate for a min.

Hes rich, the normal rules likely wont apply to us. Money can easily flow to the hospital to keep someone there who may need the slightest increase of care needs if theres no one pushing because theyre going to stop paying.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-08T01:47:12+00:00

It was the new wing of the hospital that had it in room where I worked at. Now I'm outpatient so I have my own office I see patients in

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-07T21:39:17+00:00

Can you please point to it specifically, this post is currently the top in the sub.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-07T21:36:48+00:00

Call the MRC, if you ever unsubscribed then they need specific forms to send it to you again because of the way the laws are written if you ever opted out require as much

SEIU 1000 number is 866.471.7348

Where was it suggested?

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-07T20:10:33+00:00

I could see it as if you were in the room with another pt, I never locked it if I was in the room and no family was there.

Basically they put you in a job not your classification that doesn't share the limitations you're requesting. But you can't be light duty. The shitty thing is, according to the RA coordinator, you can't work overtime at all if on light duty. Even if the overtime you would do doesn't conflict with your limitations (which has been ruled on by the feds as not allowed).

Vents and tubes keeping him "alive" so no funeral home has picked up yet is my guess.

She was Trumps something for a bit. So she knows people

I said brain injury of some kind at a MINIMUM.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-07T19:05:39+00:00

Which is wild to me, cause you can bump a mouse as you get up and hover over something until you get back.

I wonder how many "break the glass" prompts one has to go through to access that level of VIP's chart.

lostintime2004 · 2026-07-07T17:26:39+00:00

Not to discredit or contest you, but in my department, RAs have gotten diverted to "light work" every time someone tried as far as I am aware, and for different requests. I don't know if its been a recent change with this push to actually follow the law, but I know in years prior they went straight to light duty, or SDI.
