The mechanism you're talking about is the threat to strike. If they're so important give them what they ask so they don't have to strike. Stopping them from striking means you don't have to give them anything at all

Hello,

YES, I am aware the poor dog was missing in New Hampshire. But I am also mindful that dogs (and cats) can easily cross country reasonably quickly in the wilderness. This is why an exception is made for missing or found animals from Vermont and New Hampshire. We'll also make a minor exception for towns bordering along Massachusetts from within New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

While we are on the topic of pets and I have your attention, posting concerning breeding or sales of animals will not be allowed, but adoption is.

I would also like to point out that r/MassPets is also another Subreddit (I have cross-posted this there, on the OP's behalf).

Ah the old "I got mine fuck you" attitude.

no

>many public employees are essential

So we should pay them like they are.

Get an attorney with civil rights knowledge or contact the Chief of Police who oversees the officer who behaved inapropriately.Contact the mayor or town council.

That is why people say things like acab too.

There's a difference between a protest that involves freedom of speech and a temper tantrum holding public safety hostage because you don't like people using their freedom of speech to criticize your brutality.

Damn, I was hoping it would say "woof"

Yeah I’ve been looking everywhere in the area, I’m looking for a two family so there is simply less availability which is why I was looking at this specific Lawrence property. Unfortunately I lost it yesterday though before I could get an offer in so the search continues.

It won't really do anything because the powers that be will repeal or amend it either on the effective date or shortly thereafter. They are not prohibited from doing so, although their political opponents (if any) will use that against them every election thereafter.

Even under a Republican governor, the assembly could easily do anything on which there was broad agreement among leaders, even over the governor's objection.

We desperately need more housing so this sounds great!

Sounds like a smart dog to me. I bet they also recognize the spam link in the previous post, which allowed me to remove the previous post.

Such a good doggy.

Well, they can contact the shelter or puppy mill that the microchip is registered to. They may be able to provide more information, as to the person they sold the dog to.

I commented in another thread, the dog apparently does have a microchip, but the chip isn't registered.

So a reminder to pet owners, make sure your pet's microchip is registered!

Who cares

Strung out drug addicts who rob you at gunpoint are going to do that even if the cops are around the corner. And the cops aren’t going to do anything about it because they don’t have to.

Yes I support having zero police because all they do is murder Black people anyway

I can’t believe they think they can pass laws banning people from striking.

I love how used this Supreme Court case is. They literally go to their calls lol

I’m in a union working for the state and I’ll be fired on the spot because I’m essential.

It’s a series filmed in like Alberta. Who cares.

No, I was suggesting that instead of repealing it we ADD a new section that provides for an effective mechanism for public employees to force the handling of issues that would otherwise require a strike by other (effective - important) means.

Work stoppage by public employees like police, fire, ambulance and all other essential services could have catastrophic consequences. This approach assures both the services are not interrupted AND the issues are expeditiously handled.
