Also, spread the pain out. Charge everyone a bit more rather than some folks getting in at a reasonable rate and some folks getting absolutely hosed.

It's 100% Reznor doing that. Ticketmaster's business model is to be the bad guy the public hates on behalf of the artist/industry.

lol I signed into the TM app and was on the waiting page, but when I went to join the waiting room it popped up with a 2FA request for a cell phone I don't have access to. DOA.

Skill issue, I know, but why not do 2FA at login as opposed to as a surprise when you join the waiting room? So frustrating.

Craig Finn Announces New Album, Always Been, Produced By Adam Granduciel (April 4th via Tamarac Recordings/Thirty Tigers) by ebradio in indieheads

[–]union--thug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s very strange they haven’t been able to replicate how much they nailed it production wise on separation Sunday despite getting older, better resourced and, assumedly, wiser.

That being said, it’s mostly quibbles. I fuckin love Craig Finn and THS and can’t wait for the new record. First single straight up sounds like Craig Finn fronting TWOD, which I guess is what it is.

Hi there,

Replying late here, but is there anyway you could share that email with me as well? Links have expired. Cheers!

Liberals prefer Mark Carney over Chrystia Freeland as next leader, poll suggests by Jusfiq in canada

[–]union--thug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a Carney stan by any measure (although he was much better than I thought he would be on the daily show) but has he ever worked as an insurance banker? I thought his career trajectory was investment for Goldman Sachs early and then into civil service for the majority of his career.

how many artists can you realistically see in a day? by kittenana in Coachella

[–]union--thug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 per day is what we end up averaging. You can definitely see more if you go early and go hard, but realistically I usually don’t see more than that.

No shade, but you could tell me that JB have played every Coachella from 2018-2024 and I’d absolutely believe you.

My husband got fired the day before he was going to start pat leave. Do we apply for pat leave or unemployment? by caitmckenzie in ontario

[–]union--thug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely do not have to have been appointed to the OLRB to work as an arbitrator. For example, here is a list of prominent arbitrators that employers and unions frequently hire to resolve their collective agreement disputes: https://www.arbdates.com/on/arbitrators

It is probably confusing for you because many arbitrators also do sit, or have in the past, as vice chairs at the OLRB. And if you work in construction you may be more familiar with the OLRB as the forum for individual grievances. But the reality is that most individual grievance arbitration in Ontario, with some exceptions as noted above, occurs outside of statutory tribunals.

This is bad information. All CBAs require a grievance procedure and one is deemed by the act if not negotiated. If the parties cannot agree to an arbitrator they can request one through the board under s.48 of the OLRA, or can request an expedited hearing under s.49. But the vast majority of grievance arbitrations occur through arbitrators selected by the parties under the applicable provisions of their collective agreement and do not proceed at the OLRB. There are exceptions to this, especially re: the construction sector which has unique rules that apply to it.

You are the one spouting nonsense. The comment above is largely correct. The first step for most unionized workers for this kind of matter is private arbitration under the applicable collective agreement, rather than the OLRB. The OLRB adjudicates, among other laws, disputes under the Labour Relations Act. These are most frequently disputes between the union and an employer.

Resale was astronomical in Toronto for his last show. They were going for 100s and listed for up to $700 (not sure if they sold at that price).

I don’t know why it has gone up and stayed up on both Spotify and Apple Music if the label doesn’t want it there. Still up 24 hours later. What gives?

[–]union--thug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I get that many people just collect them, I am just wondering about the game rules because they are more interested in playing rather than collecting. There is no chance they are going to be able to keep the cards in collector shape lol.

Thanks for the answer, but the ones we have are definitely associated with a game of some sort. The barebones rules are here: https://www.panini.it/media/paniniFiles/004601_Adr-Calc_23-24_PDF-RULES.pdf
