Sure wish I could watch the Reds on Opening Day. Thanks for nothing as usual, MLB.tv

Imagine sending excited emojis about killing people. These people are ghouls.

If the FMCS is shut down, and the agency was created under the Taft-Hartley Act, then shouldn’t Taft-Hartley be repealed? Along with it goes “right to work” and ULPs against unions, keep in mind. #FMCS #union

Hearing the Trump admin is currently gutting the FMCS, laying off mediators and shutting down services. The FMCS was created as a means to thwart strikes. Unions should respond accordingly. #strike

My grievance arbitration class has about 200+ pages of textbook reading…a week. Drowning.

Tomorrow I’m going the last @reds.com spring training game, which is being played at the Dragons field here in Dayton. So that’s pretty rad. Stoked for Reds baseball to start!

Oh man, I can’t believe we have to wait and wait on another season of Severance now. Ugh. So good, though.

If you would like something fun and happy to watch today, my daughter’s a cappella group made this Mario medley video and it’s great. youtu.be/e_Eu1k9dS5A?...

Ok now it’s actually just a repeat of Humphrey’s Executor. Unreal.

If your reaction to current events is “how can we fix this political party?” and not “let’s do something else” you’re still not getting it. This two party system doesn’t work. It’s right there in front of you.

“If we take away the attacker’s gun and then give him a knife, it will take significantly longer for him to kill us!”

You know, some of us have been telling you for a very long time that you’re wasting your time on the Democratic Party.

This administration absolutely despises working people.

Today I am writing a midterm essay on the Family and Medical Leave Act, laughing out loud at myself at the absurdity of implying this federal government will ever force businesses to give us paid leave. They won’t help us. Help yourselves. Organize.

just learning that the iconic canadian prog rock band "Rush" has introduced a devastating 5/8 tariff on all tempo exports to the United States

I am announcing a 25% retaliatory tariff on my neighbor’s leaves. Admittedly, they were my leaves first but he blew them back in my yard. Illegally. Sad.

Remember when all those union members (and some leaders) were walking around with their brains hanging out acting like Trump was going to help workers? Feel like a sucker yet?

When my grandfather grew very old, well into his eighties and suffering from some dementia, he began to do this strange thing where he would put rubber bands around his dress shoes. Apparently to “keep them tight” without needing laces.

They want you to believe it’s right vs left, when it’s really rich vs poor

I am truly embarrassed to be an American right now.

Unions need to start submitting bargaining demands right away to employers—regardless of contract status—to remove “no strike” clauses from their agreements. The labor movement needs to remind employers that the NLRB and the Act enforce labor peace. Give them a preview of what’s to come.
