No real directions, but this isn't a place for debate. It's a place for RANTIN' AND RAVIN'.

There is a rule: There is to be no calling out anyone by name in Rants, Chatter, or on the Meme itself. This only produces an atmosphere of animosity and it is no longer tolerated. If you see any names being ranted about, please link ( Read more... )

off topic by nature, rants

I'VE NOT BEEN PAID IN A MONTH DUE TO SOME TECHNICAL COCKUP. THEY SAID I'D BE PAID TODAY, NOT HAPPENED. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD EVEN BOTHER GOING INTO WORK TOMORROW GOD SAKE.

SORRY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TERM "LOCKED OUT".

BEING A UNION MEMBER IS SEEN AS ALMOST ESSENTIAL IN MY COUNTRY. YOUR UNION REP WOULD BE THE PERSON TO GO TO IF YOU WERE NOT GETTING PAID.

I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT UNIONS ARE THAT DIFFERENT IN AMERICA.

Are you referring to the NBA and NFL lock outs?

Gotta defend my union, yo. Everyone in my line of work wants *into* them. IDK how Hollywood would even operate without SAG or AFTRA. Food for thought, I suppose.

As to the original post, (if in the US), the state (or federal, idk which) government's department of labor. There are definitely options for non-union people to protest unfair treatment (including not being paid, or not being paid in a timely manner. Umm...unless it's an illegal biz, in which case this is of no help to you.

I KNOW YOUR PAIN, NONNIE.

My main source of income is checks from the government which I receive because my father was in the military when he passed away. They haven't given these checks since DECEMBER because my university screwed up the paperwork they were supposed to send in to verify that I'm still a student. I'M FILLED WITH RAGE AND ANGST BECAUSE I CAN'T PAY FOR ANYTHING.
