@johntinker @Radical_EgoCom Social media is a tool. If any relationship w/in the context of your intended use of that tool is interfering with your use of the tool then it's absolutely appropriate to prune that relationship. Unless it's part of how you intend to use social media you don't own anyone engagement of any kind in these environments.

What are some examples of praxis? How do you put theory into practice in your daily life? #IWW

It is my dearest wish this #MayDay that faculty and staff close the Universities where the bosses have chosen to clear the protest camps. The violent abuse and abrogation of your students civil rights is, with out a doubt, affecting your working conditions and a legitimate cause to strike.Workers of the world, unite. #IWW

@Radical_EgoCom I try not to get into those debates w/ fellow leftists, unless it's over drinks and we're all having fun. I'll roll them out to argue w/ reactionaries in a heart be tho.

UPDATE: my former employer has contacted the NLRB investigator to inquire about a "non-board settlement." I am drafting my demands.

So #IWW friends, if you were putting together a settlement proposal for an employer who illegally fired you, what would you demand?

@Radical_EgoCom I can absolutely open with demanding the resignation of the CEO and implementing a co-op model. It's a nonprofit so no one actually owns it, so Democratic process is the closest they can get to worker ownership.

After legal consultation with a lawyer who wants to help me collect a settlement from the bosses who illegally fired me it seems they don't think they can get a settlement that includes a statement from the CEO to current staff taking accountability. they also seem to think all settlements have non-admission clauses. So I don't really see any benefit for me in settling. Fuck it, war. #IWW

The more I think about it the less inclined I am to settle. And much less inclined to hire a lawyer whether or not I decide to settle.The standard legal fee for contingency based representation is 33%. So will a lawyer cause my recovered losses to exceed 1.5x what the board will order? If not then I lose money hiring a lawyer.1/?

Apparently mediations is standard for settlements, w/ parties splitting the mediation cost of mediation fails to produce a settlement.This is functionally a deposit on achieving a settlement that tilts thing in the corp's favor.The corp has 52m revenue, 43m assets, 2.5m profits.I don't have much less. So that deposit is a significant proportion of my assets and means nothing to the corp. That's a bad deal and I won't take it.2/

Obviously I can insist that the corp foot the bill for mediation. The lawyer I spoke with seemed to think that's a tall order and very outside the box.This box is too small for workers and bosses to fit in there together. As the #IWW has consistently said, the laws are written by the bosses lawyers and rubber stamped by the pols in their pockets. So it's no surprise that the usual protocol favors the boss.3/?

The risk of losing an expensive deposit will make it much harder to reject a deal with a nondisclosure req (which I just wouldnt be able to follow) or a non-admission clause (which I simply can't accept since it protects the guilty party).4/?

I posted reqs for suggested demands in a few places and got a fun list. The lawyer I spoke with spent the bulk of the conversation telling me my demands are impossible. If I'm going to hire a lawyer I need them to fight for me, not fight me. Now I understand that the CEO isn't going to resign as part of the settlement, but many of my noncash demands are achievable if the corp doesn't want to go to the board.5/?

So at the end of the consult it feels like the lawyers have a way they're used to doing things and are working to get the relevant parties to follow that process. What incentive is there to settle in that circumstance? If I were desperate for cash maybe. It is especially dissuasive that the lawyer told me I wouldn't get the posting I want and wouldn't get it from the board. But I've read board discussion and they order what I want w/ regularity.Maybe more to come, but that's enough for now.

Capitalist propagandists tell us that, w/o a profit motive or fear of poverty, no one will do any work and society will collapse. The Helene recovery work in WNC refutes that, definitively. Everyone's first reaction was who needs what and how do we get it to them?As soon as people in crisis get safe they turn around and start working to get other people safe. The Capitalists talk a lot about human nature. This impulse to care for eachother and share what we have, that is actual human nature.
