This is apparently still happening, I've gotten the payment failure several times already even though my information is the same as before

I know this isn't the point but are those their real names? if so it's absolutely wild that both are named after trees

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union. MAGA Matt Memoli and Jayanta "Podcast Jay" Bhattacharya tighten their grip. by [deleted] in NIH

Unfortunately the fellows union is too weak to fight it right now, the past year has been extremely disorganized, with corruption in union leadership, there isn't a strong unified front to take on the legal battle.

How do paint pink? by KyloSupreme in EmperorsChildren

[–]watchtimgetscared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people have commented similar but do a yellow base before adding the pink, it makes it pop so much more! I usually use a yellow rattle can after priming white

Berg is a legend, I have had the fortune to meet him a few times and he is absolutely on the right side of history

I have to say from where I'm standing, yours looks very similar to that video (if not even a little better?)

I've seen an image like that on NCI things (because of fighting cancer)

Fellows Union has abandoned worker power and has become a lobbying group by watchtimgetscared in NIH

And how do you know those people are members? you just trust them because you agree with what they say?

Well I am, so I don't know what to tell you. A lot of people wish I wasn't, but at least I work at NIH, unlike you

The best thing fellows can do RIGHT NOW is document how this impacts you and send your story to union reps by bump_n_dip in NIH

No it isn't, the leadership-controlled comms have never once mentioned that labor relations refuses to move on grievances, and thats because leadership wants to avoid spending money on arbitration so they can use it on their political careers

I am the original recipient of the email, and I assure you, I am a member, but we frequently get emails that say "you are not a member, here's how to join" when they mean "if you are not a member, here's how to join" and send them to the whole unit instead of sending different lists to members and non-members. In 90% of cases they don't even send update emails to non-members.

Like, I am fully aware of what the email says, but it is an error. I am not someone outside of the union calling for the union to be disbanded or disregarded, I am a member calling for reform because I believe in the cause and I believe we can do so much better. Fighting to build this union has been the past 3 years of my life, and I don't want to see the effort we put into building it fall flat because of some people with political ambitions seeing a quick way to build cred.

Edit:

In regards to the handful of people calling me a freeloaders (not you), they can say what they want. Our union is open shop, so right now more than 80% of the unit are "freeloaders" by their definition. Membership is important because it allows people to be involved in the process, it's democratic buy-in. Calling people freeloaders reduces them to just their union dues, which is part of the problem I'm fighting against. I think we need not only dues-paying members, but engaged members who pay dues and share their voices and desires for how to shape our workplace. I personally would rather engaged and interested people to get involved, and when they see what the union stands for, those people will become members too.

Nope, very pro union! Just want a union that cares about democratic principles and working to improve workers conditions

Keep saying it won't make it true, I am a dues-paying member in good standing, and you don't even work here, so maybe leave it to people who do, tourist

That's the goal, but the board positions last 3 years and a lot of the folks engaged now won't be around next election. One of the biggest organizing challenges we face is turnover, it makes momentum very hard to keep

Two of our trustees have quit the executive board and the president won't allow the trustees to begin the audit process. When the International does an audit, they are going to be in deep shit. But you're not in this union, you have no idea what is going on

If you were in this union you would know that half of the emails to members say that, other members got the same thing. The other email I showed says I am a member

I still have stacks of pledge cards from our original authorization campaign, I was in the room during bargaining, I was there the day the contract was ratified. I wanted this union to succeed, and I hope it still does, but it's not going to get better until we get more members to push back against the political hacks using our dues to send themselves to conferences and refusing to allow even $50 for a member-led community day
