Sharing some pictures from beech mountain (charter hills neighborhood at about 4500 ft) in the interest of getting the word out about just how bad things got. Wind and tree damage everywhere

When the boss gives you another pizza party instead of a raise:

[CWA @CWAUnion]

CWA members have reached strong tentative agreements with AT&T Southeast and AT&T West for new union contracts.

The agreement in the Southeast ends our 30 day ULP strike at AT&T – the longest telecommunications strike in the region’s history.

Check out the op-ed from the @UcwgaUGA Parking Committee. Workers should not have to pay to park at their jobs. https://t.co/GH7WpJ0Ds9

[Bryant Barnes @Bryant_Barnes]

Worker paychecks stolen due to UGA's abysmal cybersecurity. Do they take responsibility? No! They say it's the workers' fault for being attacked by cybercriminals who strategically exploit UGA's abysmal cybersecurity. If only UGA treated cybersecurity like students with tents...

[Tore Olsson @ToreCarlOlsson]

I am BEYOND excited to announce that the audiobook of RED DEAD'S HISTORY, which uses the #RDR video games to explore America's violent past, will be narrated by @rclark98, RDR2's lead actor.

Arthur Morgan wants to be your new American history teacher.

[United Campus Workers UVA @UCWVAUVA]

Today a delegation of graduate workers joined UVa's Board of Visitors meeting to remind them that the systemic issue of late (and incorrect) payments continues to impact us every month. UVa relies on us for research, undergraduate instruction, and its information infrastructure

[UCWGA-UGA @UcwgaUGA]

UGA must pay graduate student workers a living wage
