I was mildly annoyed we had to go through the PLRB at Pitt and I am now overjoyed we have to go through the PLRB.

But we are a public enough institution that our unionization efforts go through the PLRB instead of the NLRB. Which, I'm thankful for, but it's very odd that we're straddling that line.

Get in losers, we're forming a union!
USWPittStaff: We're almost there! The Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board (PLRB) finished counting the ballots for the professional unit - and we won! The professional unit voted overwhelmingly to join the USW union. Tomorrow they should finish the count for the non-professional unit. We'll update you as soon as the count for all Pitt Staff is completed.

INBOX: "The United Steelworkers (USW) union called on the University of Pittsburgh administration to bargain in good faith with its unionized employees following a decision from the PLRB that found the university guilty of unfair labor practices in its contract negotiations with USW members."

I co-wrote an op-ed! #PennState admin is stalling graduate workers' legal right to unionize by claiming that only teaching assistants qualify as workers, excluding all others titles from the #union. This was already settled in our favor by the PLRB years ago! www.centredaily.com/opinion/opn-...

Interestingly, I was looking at a 2009 PA Supreme Ct case recently stating that the independence of the state judiciary required it to be able to sue the General Assembly in mandamus to force provision of adequate funding to ensure the administration of justice. scholar.google.com/scholar_case...
Article V of the Pennsylvania Constitution vests the judiciary with the power to administer justice. Commonwealth ex rel. Jiuliante v. County of Erie, 540 Pa. 376, 657 A.2d 1245, 1247 (1995); Beckert, 439 A.2d at 642. The judicial branch's right "to hire, fire, and supervise its employees is derived from that constitutional source." Jiuliante, 657 A.2d at 1247; see also County of Lehigh v. PLRB, 507 Pa. 270, 489 A.2d 1325, 1327 (1985); Ellenbogen v. County of Allegheny, 479 Pa. 429, 388 A.2d 730, 734 (1978). Further, the judiciary's authority over court personnel "is essential to the maintenance of an independent judiciary." County of Lehigh, 489 A.2d at 1327; see also Ellenbogen, 388 A.2d at 734. Another branch of government thus may not encroach upon this judicial power, although it is not unlimited. Jiuliante, 657 A.2d at 1247.[16] Concomitantly, control of state finances, specifically, the power to appropriate funds and levy taxes, lies with the legislative branch. McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316, 431, 4 Wheat. 316, 4 L.Ed. 579 (1819); Beckert, 439 A.2d at 642-43; Leahey v. Farrell, 362 Pa. 52, 66 A.2d 577, 579 (1949). The legislative power, however, is also not unlimited because it is constrained by other constitutional considerations. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 176-77, 1 Cranch 137, 2 L.Ed. 60 (1803); Leahey, 66 A.2d at 579. A legislative action that impairs the independence of the judiciary in its administration of justice violates the separation of powers; the corollary is that a judicial action that infringes on the legislative function also violates the separation of powers. Beckert, 439 A.2d at 643. In the case of such a violation, there is no question that the judiciary has the power to exercise its check on the legislature and invalidate such a constitutionally repugnant act by compelling expenditures that are necessary to prevent the impairment of the administration of justice through an action in mandamus. Id. at 643-44; Jiuliante, 657 A.2d a…

I love a little good news...
Penn State Faculty Alliance email: Dear fellow Penn State Faculty, We did it! The results of our union election are here, and we have won our faculty union with 2,510 voting UNION YES. Through our organizing, we have a mandate for change at Penn State. We look forward to negotiating in good faith with Penn State to ensure a meaningful faculty voice on the issues that matter most. Over the last two days, the PLRB has counted thousands of ballots cast in our union election. After years of organizing, we are proud to say that the majority of Penn State faculty have said YES to union representation.

eu não compraria uma almofada com estampa de coração pra minha casa por livre e espontânea vontade, mas acho que depende muito de como é o design da estampa...

porém, se você gostou e ao mesmo tempo quer levar em conta a opinião de plrb, + (segue no próx.)

yea there are a lot of costs that can be imposed on them from a lot of angles now. also the PLRB pretty favorable: just think whatever contract they negotiate can address unit closures, and i know we've got language for that from our negotiation

If the DA truly supports workers '100%,' he needs to stop the legal games, accept the PLRB ruling, and publicly push for a fair, fast election, no matter which union they choose.

A union fight inside Philly DA Larry Krasner’s office may test his pro-labor reputation
Workers said the DA has put up roadblocks and taken positions that they see as at odds with his public image as a leader of the city’s progressive movement. Krasner said he will "support them 100%."
