My day starts all geared up for the storm to bike downtown, waiting to cross the 🛑 intersection by my house and an Open the Great Hwy supporter runs the stop sign, doesn't use their turn signal, cuts me off and merrily drives off in their Jeep SUV.

I can't make this sh*t up. #wewon #fossilfool

A win for the workers!
My employer is a non-profit org that assists developmentally disabled folks lead a productive, independent life in both a residential setting, as well as with in the community.
Recently, due to exhausting and poorly organized schedules, 2 residential LPNs put in their notice. Management decided it would be best (for financial reasons) to have the regular workers, like myself, take on training to distribute medications to the residents. This would also mean there would be one less person on hand to assist with daily duties, including ensuring the safety of the residents. I refused when told the pay would be the same but the responsibility and liability would be greater for me and other workers.
I saw this as exploiting the workers to take on more work and liability for the same pay by way of not hiring more LPNs, thus "taking a job" from an LPN that would be willing to take the job.

The other workers (including the LPNs) had a few unofficial meetings and discussions stating we would all resist. Two other workers were ready to put in notice along with the LPNs.
Yesterday management, after realizing that 3/4 of our residential staff might be gone by the 2nd week of January, held a meeting for the workers to explain their side and express their concerns.

By the end of the meeting they offered one of the LPNs everything that they wanted to keep them on staff. They listened to all of the issues the staff had with liability, responsibility and safety.
I didn't make the last minute impromptu Zoom meeting, but my fellow workers kept me abreast of what went on.

So, here we are, the workers, including the LPN, getting the fair treatment with no extra workload and management bending to the needs of the workers and residents.

I've been putting a bug in the ears of fellow workers about these issues and I'm proud to say my fellow workers spoke up with all those concerns and more. I'm expecting a call from management today to hear of I have any additional grievances or concerns.

I consider this a BIG win for myself and my fellow workers.
Remember, that workers not only control the means of production but also ensure the safety and quality of life for ourselves as well as our residence and the community.

Never give up. Never back down.

A brutish cameraman Jean & reporter Catherine are on the verge of breaking up after 6 years. It’s always been tumultuous between them. He says very hurtful things to her & even gets violent sometimes, but half expects she’d always come back. But she does an adult thing & breaks up. You fall out of love. It fades. But it's never gone. #MauricePialat brings out virtuosic performances from his actors. #WeWon'tGrowOldTogether is an unsentimental grownup love story that rings true however painful.

> Really tho, if we think trump won, which we do, it means we are already the majority, and need to act like it, despite the MSMs claims.

Amen 🇺🇸 #TrumpWon #WeWon
