I got a job.
And I don't even know my hours. It's as a package handler. Not UPS, though.
I know that I start during the evenings, but I don't know what time I end at in terms of my shifts. I need a password to get in the Workday app, but I can't.
And I can't find the chief manager anywhere in the building to schedule time off for my upcoming graduation ceremony this month.
My word, only the work area is available to us!

WASHINGTON—On the morning of June 5, a coalition of D.C. labor union locals led a picket action in front of the John A. Wilson Building on Pennsylvania Ave, which houses Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office and the D.C. Council.

The coalition featured leaders and rank-and-file members from the Coalition of Labor Union Women (CLUW), Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA), SAG-AFTRA & Sister Guild Members for Ceasefire, IWW DMV Education Workers Organizing Committee, UAW, American Postal Workers Union (APWU), AFA-CWA, SEIU Local 500, ATU Local 689, and the Georgetown Alliance of Graduate Employees.

Last week, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey lambasted the United Auto Workers (UAW) in a social media post on X (formerly Twitter) ahead of a union vote at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama, set for mid-May. Ivey has been campaigning for months against autoworker unionization in the state.
Ivey’s post referenced an anti-union op-ed by Nathaniel Ledbetter, speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives, to which Ivey added: “The UAW is NOT the good guy here. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for calling out the UAW for what it is — corrupt, shifty and a dangerous leech.” Her post went semi-viral, garnering over 400,000 views, and it was reposted by her close political ally in resistance to autoworker unionization, the Business Council of Alabama (BCA).
While Ivey’s fierce opposition to the UAW is no s

Fae didn't know it was technically an American holiday till I told faer today for our therapy session.
Fun fact: the wife of the person that was executed became a CPUSA member (the wife of one of the leaders of the group)!
Her house was burned down and the FBI took all her papers from the wreckage, her burnt memoirs and all that, and whatever else she was writing.
All that history... lost.

Why Going to the Pharmacy Sucks Now
cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/1715462
I can relate, although I'm on the other side of the pharmacy getting my meds from them.
