Storing Boxes/Moving Boxes

Published by Duncan in the blog Duncan's Blog. Views: 16

The local union office at the Department of Veterans Affairs was evicted by the tRump administration. And I had to pack it up and ship it out to storage somewhere.

It's the end of August and the temperatures are in the low 100ºs. I drive a 2016 FIAT 500L. It has limited trunk space. Generally, that's of no consequence since I am a singletarian who seldom travels with more than one passenger. I don't like moving heavy loads even when it is not broilingly hot outside. However, the union's paperwork needs to be put into storage.

Donald did some horrible sh*t to us. He had done something similar during the first administration. That time, he evicted us from the building and decreed that we were not allowed to use any of the agency's 'resources' such as copier, email, Internet. This time, it got worse. He stopped allowing union dues to be made through payroll deduction. He then rescinded our contract with the V.A. He then evicted us and said we were no longer allowed to conduct most business. And he demanded that all of the stewards who were still employed by the agency go back to work full-time in their capacity as employees.

So I'm angry. I can no longer represent employees, and I can no longer represent employees when managers are misbehaving. I don't wish people dead, but I hope one day this one learns that there are consequences for these actions.
