#pay their union dues

[pure-0f-heart-dumb-0f-ass]

An absolutely STACKED musical theatre cast!!!! Like I was like WHERE do you get the BUDGET for all these extremely impressive gets???

Bezos, man.

But also most Broadway performers are very firmly middle class (if that) while on contract, and while off contract struggle to make ends meet, so I imagine a lot of the more purely Broadway folks were cheaper than you’d think.

My question stands horse,

When if you when horse, can horse?

When horse would horse if a can horse could horse?

Hate the stupid way my credit union treats my credit card

[bogleech]

Animation unions are calling for a Laika boycott due to unsafe working conditions and sleazy hiring practices (like firing full time crew just to rehire as temps for less pay and benefits), apparently they also take the Amazon approach of treating workers like inhuman machines.

I lost count of how many people I've met in the shop who whine about the ~Good Ol Boys~, but after a couple questions it becomes clear they're just made they weren't getting special favors for paying dues. There are also the people who insist there's no communication about anything, but they refuse to read the in plant newsletter or the monthly union paper, they don't look at the union bulletin boards at every plant entrance, they don't use our chairman's phone app for questions and communication, they don't follow any of the union's social media pages, and they will not attend any union meetings. At that point like what the fuck do you want? Should your committee man come find you personally, hold your hand and tell you everything going on?

Now my local is currently stuck in the world's stupidest turf war, since our local president burned all her bridges with the rest of the elected body in the union, went on a warpath of accusations of financial corruption which ended up being proven false repeatedly, and now is stuck nearly alone at meetings because her supporters are allergic to union meetings.

Because of this petty bullshit, union meetings are like being stuck in a room full of stray cats looking for the exit.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

This is the pro union website, like tone deaf “fuck your union by an xbox” ads on the train are a waste of money but this is a punchline what y’all doin here

This is the highest compliment I can bestow, but Dungeon Meshi reads like it was written for, if not by, Terry Pratchett.

Oh, you have a dungeon with monsters and adventurers? How does it work? Who pays? How do you get enough supplies? People will eat anything when hungry; do they eat the monsters? People will cook feasts from rotten meat and weeds; what feasts can you make with monsters?

By the way, here is a terrible pun about soup.

You want heroes to have peril, but also to live? Easy! Just have a ressurection spell. Well how does it work? What's the point? What would people give to live forever? What would people give to die?

Here's a dwarf whose magical shield is a wok.

And if they come back, it still hurts right? Do people remember? What happens if they forget that, outside of the dungeon, they can't come back? What if the thing that brings them back also ties them to the dungeon more and more, changes them, makes them different without knowing why.

Whilst you were thinking about that, the halfling founded an adventurers guild. It's an actual union with dues etc. btw he's a deadbeat dad apart from this.

The dwarf from earlier carries familial trauma that will haunt you for the next decade. The protagonist holds his sister's skull as the first proof that there is anything left of her. The two female leads share a love so deep that giving it a name would pollute it. The protagonist's sword is a mollusc.

are you the pitiful freelancer or the nobel unionman?

I'm pitiful and in more ways than just this one 😫 I actually have some (small) problems with the local 58, but most of them are just "never expanded outside Toronto proper", which is sort of I think how most unions are these days. like, my little corner of the industry is ripe for it lemme fucking tell you. anyway, iatse is more of a labour pool then like IBEW, and the labour it pools is very much downtown centric, so without making a significant move it wouldn't really be practical for me I'm afraid 😔 driving all over creation and shit. but the like maybe one or two union-ish workplaces in my industry (rather than being labour pool) are like, my dream, obviously lol. Or just getting a govt job doing what I do

@dawnstarsky reblogging cause YOU UNDERSTAND MY VISION XHXJXJXVXJ

Idk much about palmer but the comedic potential of him being the one non time traveler fumbling his way into secret coded meetings with the rest of AVALANCHE has me cackling

I have yet to see the funniest possible variation of those Time Travel aus where Barret just straight up forms a union.

Like bro definitely would march up to Shinra after waking up in the past and start a full protest/walk out with public safety and SOLDIER. Vincent is foiling assassination plots and Reeve is bankrolling the movement. They try to send Sephiroth in to break up the protest and ten minutes later he's holding up a picket and chanting about informed consent and medical transparency. Aerith is throwing rocks at Scabs.

[grandwretch]

Help Two Disabled Trans Women Survive the Holidays, Finally Move Out of Mold Hell, and Get a Fresh Start

Basically, my wife and I need to move as soon as possible. Our apartment is a death trap to stay in and our landlord is annually billing us thousands in extra heating bills because of the leaky moldy windows and shitty construction.

Multiple tenants keep contacting him regarding mold and window installation, but he just shrugs it off, does some shoddy contract work or mold removal, and charges us for it. (for reference the balcony door with the shelf was installed less than 4 years ago, 1½ years after we moved in, when the last one wouldn't close).

On top of debt from unforeseen utility bills, they slapped us with an "extra heating expenditure bill" covering all of last year and tried to charge the extra 11000dkk onto that month's rent. We managed to get them to generously negotiate a 3-month payment plan instead and they agreed (raising our rent further). The very next week they informed us that they're suddenly raising our annual base rent by almost 900dkk and monthly heating bill by 825dkk, meaning we're currently paying over $1500+ a month for a frigid mold-infested shit hole that leaves us with almost nothing to actually live off.

Please I'm begging someone to get us out of this place, it actually killing both of us after living here for almost 6 years. We're both feeling it heavily affecting our health (like my wife having to be hospitalized multiple times due to pulmonary/respiratory issues, our terrible immune systems and the constant coughing with black specks in our phlegm).

Any donations people are kind enough to share are going towards moving-out costs, damages incurred to this apartment in the 6 years we've lived here (we're both psychotic), any landlord-move-out-bullshittery they will undoubtedly try to get away with (the housing union we live in is notorious for this kind of behavior) and helping towards the new apartments security deposit/first month's rent
