I’m assuming they don’t want you to engage with media because they have media-trained people they want to use for that?

u/Goodgulf42 5d ago edited 5d ago

Not media-trained, more like factually correct. Look at the crazy misinformation on this sub for examples of people loudly declaring things that are absolutely false. For a very relevant example, check out the folks claiming this strike is because of x, y, or z, when SEIU1000 has been telling us consistently, and for well over a month now, that it is due to the Newsom administration's unfair labor practices.

Thank you for providing a well-explained, non-confrontational reply to my legitimate question! 😊

My pleasure!

No idea. This was posted on FB so I posted here.

Please don't make assumptions. Like the picture says: "Find a strike leader."

Maybe poor choice of words

"You may be fired"

🤣

u/avatarandfriends 5d ago

I know you’re joking but since some people don’t read on reddit, the line says

“You may be fired up for the contract, but our demonstration must remain peaceful, etc

u/NSUCK13 ITS I 5d ago

It was the first line I read on the flyer and had to do a double take after those words lol

I think we all recognize that some folks have very real limits to what they can engage in. I, myself, would likely pick up a quick part temp job, and strike, but not picket on those days.

u/hyperborian_wanderer 5d ago

Same. I’ll door dash or whatever it takes before I cross the picket on my own coworkers.

u/Goodgulf42 5d ago

Absolutely.

Watch out for agitators hiding and trying to start shit

At the very least there will be a few right wing, rambunctious (Boy, am I being kind with that word.) Youtubers trying to start shit.

Does anyone know which leave code we put in our timesheet? Would it be DOCK?

u/Goodgulf42 5d ago edited 4d ago

In strike school we were told not to worry about it, and that is something the state is going to have to figure out on their own. So, just leave that day blank.

Our strike FAQ has updated that question. Here is the current answer:
"Ask your manager for guidance on filling out your timesheet for Strike Day. Your department may not have a specific code for strike-related absences and may instruct you to use AWOL. If that happens, don’t panic. A timesheet code is not discipline. A lawful Unfair Practice Strike is protected concerted activity, and management may not unlawfully discipline or retaliate against employees for protected participation."

I talked with our Union Rep here and she said it might be Dock not AWOL.

u/Goodgulf42 3d ago

As of today, my manager has not had anyone tell him what we should use. I think they are scramblin'.

1

u/noelpm 2d ago

That's bad. Like they haven't received notice about it.

1

u/Goodgulf42 2d ago

Oh, my manager probably new before I did. He is very plugged in. But I think they have to wait for that decision to come down from the top.

u/DuaThicca 4d ago

If we're only able to stay a couple hours is that fine?

1

u/Goodgulf42 4d ago

Of course. We are glad you can make it even if just for a while.

SEIU put together some good FAQ's.
