• Napa Valley Rideshare
    Rideshare business in the city areas of San Francisco is pretty constant - there are PLENTY of riders and drivers to keep business flowing smoothly. In the Napa & Sonoma Valleys, riders are farther away and drivers are not as plentiful. It is not uncommon to be asked to drive for 20 to 30 minutes to pick up a customer, who then requests a 3 minute drive......profit for drivers is next to nothing on trips like these. Customers ask drivers to wait for them at wineries in remote locations. After Uber 25% is deducted, drivers make $9.90 an hour while waiting - not a profitable choice. Many customers ask if they can hire me for the day to drive them from winery to winery - I believe there is a market in Napa for this sort of rideshare option. In addition, I get many requests to drive from Napa to the airports. It is a 75 mile drive from Calistoga to SFO - which is a respectable fare. BUT, I still have a 75 mile drive to get back home, plus the cost of gas, bridge tolls and the hour and a half of driving with an empty car. So the bottom line is that the original respectable fare is greatly diluted......

  • Brooklyn Public Library: Don't Make Us Clock Out for Meal Breaks
    The SumTotal timekeeping system has created many problems for Local 1482 members working at Brooklyn Public Library. One of the biggest problems we experience is the requirement to clock out for meal breaks during daytime shifts. Most importantly, this policy interferes with our ability to provide quality customer service. We are routinely forced to choose between offering immediate assistance to a patron and finding a computer so that we can clock back in on time. For the same reason, we are often compelled to take less than the full 45 minutes of meal break time we are entitled to under the terms of our working conditions contract. Also, since members are not required to clock out for meal breaks during late night shifts we often forget to do so during daytime shifts. As a result, supervisors spend too much of their time in SumTotal fixing these honest mistakes as they occur. For all these reasons, we seek an end to a confusing, inconsistent, and burdensome policy that is not compatible with the nature of our work.

  • Keep web based non revenue checkin
    If you check in for non revenue travel online, you can see if you stand a chance of getting on the flight. My cousin works for another airline and I have to give her mom buddy passes because she cant get on her own daughters airline. The problem is other senior non revs show up and keep knocking her down the list. I commute to work and that would frustrate me not knowing if I will make it. I dont think its fare to allow non revs to walkup 30 minutes before the flight and skip a junior non rev after they've been sitting there all day...I DONT THINK SO!

  • Before Buddy Passes & priority on our own metal!
    As it stands, active non-wholly owned crew members will go after Buddy Passes on stand-by. Be it wholly or non-wholly owned, we all operate under the American banner. It is important to the integrity of the entire operation. Commuting crew members need to get to work so they can operate American flights. In the past American Airlines hasn't had very many non-wholly owned employees, so this hasn't been much of an issue. The new American Airlines now has thousands of non-wholly owned commuting employees. It is to everyone's benefit that working crew go ahead of friends traveling on a pass. This is our Livelihood! Also, having priority on one's own metal has always been accepted as an industry standard. Under the new rules we will lose this. We ask that we retain the right to have priority on our company owned and operated aircraft.

  • Increase the amount of EV chargers for visitors and employees at Baycare St. Joseph Hospital Tampa
    This change will allow EV drivers from long distances to work without worrying about having enough charge to make it home. This will increase employee satisfaction for having charging spots specific to employees available to charge in, and will increase patient and visitor satisfaction as well as there will be far more than two spots to choose from. There will be no more fighting over charging spots when more are installed, first when access is granted to outlets, and especially when more level 2 chargers are installed. Furthermore, this will prevent employees that drive long distances (ie from Orlando) from being stranded or terminated for charging their car. In addition, this change will essentially future-proof St. Joseph hospital and bring it into the 21st century, and will solidify its position on "being green." All other major hospitals have far more chargers available: Tampa General has about 12 level 2 chargers, Advent Health Orlando and Orlando Health have about 20 each, and even smaller hospitals typically have at least 4. It's crazy to think that the flagship hospital of BayCare Health Systems only has 2 that must be shared between employees and visitors/patients.

  • Registration is not Clinical!
    Patient safety is a major concern. Registration is not medical staff, thus we are unable to perform basic first aid duties or CPR if need be. If we are unsure about a situation, the only option is to call a code medical response, which can take up time and resources for other patients who need critical care. We did not take this job on to do the duties of a nurse, nurses aid, or the like. We took on this job to provide accurate insurance information for billing and to confirm patient demographics. This is unable to be done efficiently when three shifts a day are doing a job that we are not meant to be doing, especially without clinical support. When patients come in and they need help and nurses are unavailable, we aren't able to help them. We can't do anything except sit and watch them in pain, bleeding, or vomiting. This looks bad on the emergency department and on the hospital as a whole.

  • Allow Beanies in the Meat Room
    It is important to allowed beanies in the Meat Department because of how cold it is. Associates from other departments cannot step in the Meat room without rushing to get out. Meat Cutters are in that environment their entire shift. We're cutting under a blowing fan that maintains the temperature of the department. Which in fact, causes constant runny nose which also leads to a pause mid-production at least 3-4 times every hour. An article published Jan 31, 2022 by Times Of India states the following: "When your scalp is exposed to the cold weather, you lose more heat from the body and you are at a greater risk of cold and flu. Keeping your scalp warm is as important as keeping your body warm." Hopefully you can now understand how important it is for the health of your associates.

  • Management Changes
    Our store deserves to operate smoothly a majority of the time. We want you to know that we love this store. We love Starbucks. We love each other. We are asking to be listened to and heard, and to find actual solutions to these problems. We are asking to be staffed so that we are not in tears on the floor. We are only asking that someone will work with us to make this store even better, so that we don’t need to transfer to other stores or leave the company we love and know can do better for us.

  • Bring back our quarterly bonuses!
    The quarterly bonuses help provide ownership, accountability, and the desire to reduce shrink. We used to say "That's coming out of your bonus", which technically it did, now we say it as a joke... Managers and Asst. Managers still get quarterly bonuses, as part owners of the company, we should too!

  • Close Wendys and all fast food chains and pay its employees
    The United states is in the middle of a pandemic where most businesses have closed due to corona virus spreading. Yet wendys remains open and ia forcing its employees to work out od a drive thru window does not even follow the safety guidelines of 6 ft. Were not given masks or hand sanitizer and were told to ration are gloves. Were forced to wear headset that are right on our faces that are not being disinfected between uses. Why is it our lives our not important. Since when is a double cheeseburger an essential thing for people to survive. We have kids and families that we are endangering everyday. Most people who work in fast food our senior citizens, people with disabilities and people with kids. Why are our lives not important. Let us go home or give us safe work environments and the proper items to safely do our jobs during the corona pandemic.
