Shutdown Donations Appreciated!

Ending the shutdown did not mean immediate payment of back wages; it takes days for the computers to work their magic. Therefore donations you made yesterday to food banks and elsewhere in support of those who did not get paid was well done and much appreciated. (I'm looking at you, Veterans And Friends Of Puget Sound and DAV Chapter 23 - West Seattle, but there are many many others - thank you all!)

According to the email I just got from the union, management promises to come current "no later than Jan. 31" which is still a problem for families with kids to feed and diaper.

Still, it's something of a miracle when you consider the ancientness of our computers. It's not like buying something from Amazon!

Once again, thank you for your support; it was well done. I hope this leads to a renewed sense of community and a habit of mutual aid. There are many who remain in need and we are all in this together.
