Re: The Trump trial is already a shit show

Admit? The guy has been in 4000+ lawsuits in his life before politics. Almost half those lawsuits were Trump casinos suing gamblers who didn't pay off their line of credit. Some number of the rest also were Trump suing somebody else for damages rather than being sued. So 4000 suites isn't the relev...

Re: 50th Anniversary of Streaking Fad

Years ago at UM there was an end of year streaking fad down South U.
Eventually the authorities put an end to it by threatening to make arrests and put people on the sex offender registry.

I think the Lions will get to the Super Bowl. The Ravens will crush them there, but let's enjoy just getting there.

Re: Right to work ends Tuesday (13th)

Sure. You got Union representation without paying any dues if your workplace had a union. It was designed to bankrupt the unions by making them spend money that wasn’t put into it. Actually you got the CBA benefits but NOT union represntation. If you had a dispute with management the union is under...

Re: Right to work ends Tuesday (13th)

Is any portion of Ann Arbor bus drivers in a union? School districts might outsource an entire function (like cafeteria services) as a cost save. If there is no union for you to join, not sure if the new law has to force you to join a union. We work for Durham Transportation. Teamsters local 243 is...

Starting Tuesday in Michigan if you work under a CBA and are not currently in the union that ends Tuesday. Sign up or find a new job that isn't unionized.

My understanding is that it does not apply to public govt employee unions, like teachers unions.
This is true. But Michigan is low on the Government employee per capita list. So it does potentially apply to a lot folks.
Certainly where I work because we are private sector.

Re: Toby Keith dies

Very sad to hear of his passing. It's a stretch to describe myself as even a casual fan of country music, yet I enjoyed his style of county music. He was one of several artists from the 1990s & 2000s that I thought were great, who sadly, receive only sporadic airplay at best on contemporary country...

Maybe it’s replaced bowling as the sport for ex-bowlers.
We could add golf to that list. Darts too.
If people often drink beer and smoke while playing the "sport" its not much of a sport.

Re: UPS delivers 12,000 job cuts to management months after historic deal for unionized drivers

Hey Craig, UPS operates in 220 countries, flies 2200 flights a day, is the 3rd largest global import export brokerage, has 500,000 employees, probably 8,000 people just in accounting, and over 1200 facilities in the US alone. You might be over simplifying them a bit. https://about.ups.com/us/en/our...

Re: UPS delivers 12,000 job cuts to management months after historic deal for unionized drivers

12000 managers sounds like a case of too many chiefs not enough Indians. UPS makes its money by moving packages from point A to point B. Only people directly and physically involved in that actually generate income for the company. Take this box and get it to my daughter in Kentucky is what I am pay...

Re: First robin sighting of the year!

To interject some facts many Robins stay here all winter. They flock together in the winter and hang where than can find trees and shrubs with food sources like crabapples, hawthorns, holly, juniper, and others. Once spring arrives they split up and that is when we see them in our yards.
