Lest you think that union-busting is strictly a private sector activity, my best friend works for one of the University of California’s libraries. She is paid way less to work for their library than a normal person in her job would be, by policy, just because it’s the library. About 40% less. The university told her that’s just how they do things and that was policy.
The library unionised. The school tried to bust the union. Correspondence about it “mysteriously” disappeared. They stated their official position was that a union was not needed. They tried to pressure the employees involved to stop. They cried “budget” and blah blah. Usual nonsense.
They voted to unionise anyway.
The school is being dragged to the negotiating table.
Just in case you thought that this shit didn’t happen in the public realm.
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid my hot take is that more than three active partners is inviting turbulence. One of my pals got too excited and was dating like 5 people and it blew up in their face. 🥲 Also different if you are solo poly vs everyone dating I guess.
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid I have some relationship anarchist friends that have what I mighy call a "primary" partner who they don't live with or refer to as such for example. 🤷
@HowsThatNow @tiefling @VulpineDruid It really depends. there's as many variations as there are queer relationships. A lot of folks don't like to use terms like "primary" and adopt a more relationship anarchist style. Usually poly people call partners they live with "nesting partners". Time allocation is an eternal struggle. Also helps when you have different commitment levels and needs. E.g. my partners that are married don't need as much, wheras I see my nesting partners every day.
Ann Droid is so me. 🥲
