This is legal. Administration did that to our (first-time) union strikers, who were forced onto picket lines after years of no contract and bad faith non-negotiation.

yes, because i was so talking about child labor.
i'm talking about being able to fire anyone you want, whenever you want, and not have to worry about whether the person you fired has enough insulin to last them.

>just like bob's donuts should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
no the absolute fuck they should not. jesus christ, this kind of rhetoric is how we get back to having eight year olds in industrial factories.

We would have had it like 50 years ago but our heroic job creators can’t come to a consensus. They hate paying for it but love having the leverage over us peons.

Temple needs a rude awakening and I'd support any kind of direct action or civil disobedience aimed at them. What they are doing is monstorous and deserves a massive reckoning.

I was looking at applying for a job at temple but this is definitely pretty concerning. This is illegal right? They told them this was in retaliation and didn’t do the normal thing and lie about the reason

my point is that temple should do whatever the hell they want. just like bob's donuts should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
why are people always getting angry at the wrong person? You had the people to blame. The ones that could have fixed this decades ago and chose not to fix it. In fact, if they really, really, really wanted to, they could fix it this month.

If Temple are the pricks, then what were our past senators who controlled trillions of dollars that are refreshed each year?
what about the donut shop around my corner. They raised prices and it hurt me. Are they pricks too? Why can't they simply hire 1,000 more people tonight to help us with our medical problems?

Unfortunately, those are both things the Republican Party has discussed doing since 2016. Fortunately, they don't seem to have the seats at any level needed to consider it since 2022.
What I was getting at is that they'll lie and bend any principle to grab more naked power. There's nothing you can point to and say "they won't do that" or "that goes against their platform / ideology", or even "that's nonsense / contradictory / hypocritical, because if it gets them more power, they absolutely will find a way to justify it.

Alright, I promise I am not wishing bad health on John F. But I am so curious as to who Shapiro would appoint in the case JF had to resign.
Arguments for Giselle
- Appointing a spouse has been done before.
- She pretty much ran the campaign.
- Biden made that blooper when he said she would be a great lady in the senate.
Arguments against Giselle
- Shapiro might want the job himself (doubtful)
- There are people in state government who have been working away, paying their dues, Shapiro might think one of them should get it.

Temple is their own organization, with limited budget and priorities and goals. They should do whatever they want.
your Senator controls trillions of dollars and works for you. Those trillions get refreshed every single year. Your senator should be working on universal healthcare tonight. They should literally sit down and work on it today.
Instead, senators are whining about how Bezos is mistreating his employees. As if Bezos should give up all his wealth to give everyone healthcare for a year. But then he lost all his money, so it would only last one year.

Just to be clear, I wasn’t trying to editorialize, just summarizing Temple’s argument, even though I agree it’s bullshit.

There are a ton of links about universities, and if the group isn't in management, they are free to organize.

Good luck with that. Congress literally just days ago denounced socialism and this sort of thing is one of the prime examples of what they think of when they think of socialism.
