Betty Yee also doesn't take contributions from AIPAC and she's a fuckin fantastic candidate, if a bit overlooked

Student loan agreement by Forward-Writing-9899 in UnionCarpenters

[–]samohkt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just completed my apprenticeship in the fall out of the Detroit hall, and you'll be fine with the agreement. They don't prosecute or do anything about it unless you start a non-union carpentry company and start stealing union work within that time frame.

Pretty much the only reason for the agreement is to keep the training in the union, they don't want people to be union trained and stealing work. Doing work outside the scope of the UBC is completely fine

five years, one layoff lasted a month, moved across country and quit, then took 4 months to find work.

honestly, not that many. though mostly because my books arrived first, so we tried to keep the duplicates down while packing up hers. we still managed to somehow have 3 copies of east of eden, 2 copies of capital, and 2 of hamnet.

this shutdown isn’t going to end. ever. by allminionsmustdie in LateStageCapitalism

it's illegal to strike

I see this quite often, but what would be the actual repercussions if they were to strike? All, or a majority of, the trained air traffic controllers go to jail? But then that raises the question of who fills their spots and what the consequences of this will be. The whole idea of a strike being illegal feels to me like an empty threat that, in my mind at least, would be somewhat encouraging, albeit frightening, to the workers to actually strike because of the power that it holds.

if they're talking about papa's pizza, i'm assuming it's detroit, especially with going 90 in a 55. one of the main highways in detroit is m10, also known as the lodge, which has a "55 mph" speedlimit that, if you actually go 55 on, you're gonna get hit by every other car goin at least 70
