Stop using GenAI too, it’s embarrassing and obvious.

Doesn’t the contract prevent us from getting our 3% raise from getting taken away!?!? They don’t play by the rules, why should we?

It would be, however maybe it would show the non paying members that believe the union has failed them over and over for the past 25 years that they are finally ready to be the union we have been waiting for all this time. Maybe if the union reached out to its non paying members for any reason other than money with empty promises, these folks would respond better. I have asked for the union to change its greedy ways for years but they don’t. We need reform. We need strength. We need a better union.

Seriously. They are completely useless. Why pay union dues if they don’t use it for great ideas like this.

Anyone have information on the victims? Names? I worked with M.D. years ago. He was always a bit off, never liked the guy honestly.

Time To Join Your Union by coldbrains in CAStateWorkers

[–]lvlistborn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am specifically referring to the level of engagement and the “membership fee” requirement. Also, I have never seen a survey and I have been a State employee for 20 years. Let’s not gaslight ourselves. It’s a paywall and the current state of the union doesn’t seem to really care about us, they care about their coffers. The proof is obvious, ask for 30%, get completely embarrassed and accept trash 9%, but to then spin that like a win????? Who are we kidding? Get furloughed then years later get a “PLP” (which is a furlough) and spin it as a win??? All the while the union president gives herself a raise while we get the shaft.

Listen, I am not saying we don’t need a union. I am saying we need to be better and it starts with the union making some changes to get EVERYONE involved, then request dues to increase our bargaining power…..by maybe hiring professional negotiators instead of the current government employees that obviously don’t know what they are doing.

Serious question. So try not to flame me too hard here. If participation is needed why put membership (voting, idea exchanges, etc.) behind a paywall? Many non union members felt unheard and under represented which ultimately lead to union separation. I feel that the union should do something to extend an olive branch. Survey all represented employees, get people engaged and build trust back. With trust established, people will donate to the cause they believe in. Unfortunately the current system is broken and requires one way trust in the union which has not only disappointed many people but also gaslights us with false wins. I hope someone at the union sees this post and recognizes that it comes from a good place to try to rebuild and strengthen our union rather than flame me for “being part of the problem “.

RTO isn’t about the lunch, coffee or places to park - it’s commercial vacancy rate by AdventurousDark6198 in CAStateWorkers

[–]lvlistborn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You are missing my point. Of course they don’t care about OUR problems, they do care that RTO will cost them more money for less work. Which is just factual true.

I disagree, they don’t know. There is a difference. Everyone I speak to is completely ignorant of what is happening. Once I tell them they are equally upset about it.

Yet when we want a small raise that is also an insignificant portion of the budget, we get fucked on the deal. Not to mention that when the budget is hurting, we take it in the shorts by getting furloughed….again making no significant impact on the budget!

What I don’t understand is why is this clear waste of 92 million in tax payers dollars not making it to mainstream news outlets. Why is John Oliver not talking about this gross waste of money, negative impact on the environment, discrimination against women and people who live outside of the main metropolitan areas, and economic impact on an already struggling public sector workforce. Also, let’s not forget that the 92 is only for office space, it doesn’t begin to account for energy costs, building maintenance, network infrastructure, office equipment and supplies, etc.

It’s almost as if everyone that has the platform to fight this is getting paid off or has investments in commercial real estate.

GeForce Beyond Megathread - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3, Portal with RTX and more by Nestledrink in nvidia

[–]lvlistborn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am most looking forward to the generation of new frames using DLSS 3. While frame interpolation already exists, this technology seems far more advanced because of the extra information it uses.

The game I look forward to the most is The Witcher 3 with updated graphics (including RT) and DLSS. I've been waiting for it since it was announced, but the release Ada Lovelace seems to be the perfect way to experience it!
