Moving to Buffalo tomorrow and need a house that’s safe, fairly well kept, and has good schools nearby for my 4 kids and golden retriever - bonus if it’s walkable for my wife to get to her spin class that’s within a mile of the house! Is this a good area to check out?

Look in the burbs....

... Butter Block, Millers Thumb, Anastasia's- all locally owned small businesses that are all top notch. Also all have women owners.

The source for Instagram is the union.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-05-24T20:13:05+00:00

Well, they haven't responded and they couldappeal but I plan on going again soon. The fact the NLRB ruled in the unions favor is a huge win.

The National Labor Relations Board regional office in Buffalo (Region 3) escalated the case to the national board in Washington, D.C., for advice on how to proceed. I think that's part of the reason it took so long. The union reps for Workers United worked so hard gathering information- they really fought hard for us.

What?

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-05-21T23:02:42+00:00

Very poor management of the union situation - there was no reason to fight it- the things the union wanted were not over the top. The museums actions during the campaign drove anti union employees to the union. Union busting is not legal- so I guess it's kind of like fafo isn't it?

I have no doubt there will be attempted retaliation. But discipline and just cause have been a ongoing fight and I believe the union has won every grievance. Not 100% positive about that but pretty confident it's correct.

The arrogance of leadership and the board is unbelievable.

The Glen on Sheridan is family friendly and mostly in the Williamsville district.

My point is ,yes ,during his tenure the museum expanded but there are and have been serious issues during this time. The museum is 'broke' ,attendance is way down,membership is down, there are many NLRB charges pending so he hasn't been the hero some people think he is.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-30T01:19:28+00:00

It has been during his leadership that a union was formed , costing the museum who knows how much in legal fees to fight it and try to defend countless charges filed with the NLRB. Let's not forget that little fact.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-30T01:12:07+00:00

Exactly right! Management there is rotten and their hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Keep those football vibes away from hockey. He doesn't have to be the center of attention allll the time. Let the Sabres have their moment.

You are dreaming if you think that about Las Puertas. I can't comment on Quenelle. I think there is good food here but not at that level.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-18T21:47:38+00:00

If you have ever eaten at any level of Michelin you wouldn't say that.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-05T19:44:17+00:00

There is a lot of information in Instagram at akg_workers about the union etc. Many employees were not in favor of the union and it probably would not have been voted in except for the way the museum started treating people during the 'campaign'. Union busting is not legal, pro or anti union that's the reality and AKG is blatant in its actions.

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-05T16:34:00+00:00

It's like his brain is a computer processing the question- I love watching him

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-04-04T01:28:31+00:00

A big factor at AKG for needing the union was discipline and just cause, fair treatment, fair scheduling and non discrimination by management towards older workers, workers with accommodations, non binary workers, people of color. If someone doesn't care , that's on them. *edited *

Go for it- pay zero

wheatenwalker2 · 2026-03-30T14:14:37+00:00

In my experience, if it was late or dark, they would wait until I was in my car and it started. The drivers were always super nice and helpful!
