Cooking question: I bought a piece of prepared salmon at Whole Foods on my way home last night, and then reheated it. But it tasted sort of bland. Any suggestions on a quick easy sauce (or other solution) to add a little flavor at that point in the proceedings (preferably low in calories since I’m trying to go back to my concentration camp survivor weight of 2 years ago)?
when union members are on strike believe they get some strike pay via union coffers (ie probably funded by union dues). probably reduced pay but they get something
arkady i cant find where exactly it is in that link. it was supposedyl on spring street according to your last posting, but it doesnt say where in that thing
Dave, I would totally take out my own garbage but the building has 90 apartments and TRUST me it’s a LOT of work. We have a porter full-time for that kind of stuff. I know what’ you’re saying though. Do we pay the super’s salary while he is on strike with the union or not? I know we’ll have an arragement for someone else to take out the garbage meanwhile.
Who the hell are these unions to dictate work rules like how many buses can be deployed in a terminal?? This should be MANAGEMENT’s job. Of course, when you have powerful unions who corrupt Albany every step of the way, featherbedding like this is the norm.
And please spare me the platitudes about how we should be focused on the “rich and greedy”. The taxpayers can walk and chew gum at the same time. Whatever malfeasance occurs on Wall Street and corprorate borardrooms does NOT justify unions fleecing the taxpayers. Spare me the populist rhetoric, and justify this featherbedding. I’d like to know how this is justified.
If I sound pissed off, it’s because I am. At a time when many folks in private industry have had to endure cutbacks in their pay and benefits, the entitlement attitude of many civil servants grates on me.
I don’t understand why you don’t use your goat to haul the garbage? Isn’t it time he earned his keep ‘stead of just eating the vegetation from your window boxes all day?

But Benson – you just don’t understand the plight of the working man

Hey Joe from Brooklyn and Pete.
Please explain to us why we should put up with this nonsense from the civil-service unions, at a time of rising taxes, rising fares and service cuts:

“so I wouldn’t have to shlep our own garbage”
