No, we do not get paid for picket duty. Years ago our members were asked to picket certain jobsites if we were out of work. Now instead of doing that every member is required to picket twice a year regardless of whether we are working or not. It's better that way. There were years where I spent 4-6 weeks out of the year picketing various jobsites and some members didn't picket at all. Now it's just a few days and every member shares picket duty equally.

I can never see or hear the words "creme fraiche" and not think of the South Park episode with the same name.

The city does have these things called indoor pools. They also do recruiting/hiring in the off season to fill positions in order to be ready for the summer.

Reply to We should just stop trying to recycle by RoverTheMonster
I read somewhere that even with all the recycling programs worldwide, only about 5% of human waste is actually recycled and reused. Not really making much of a dent. I'm for recycling but it definitely needs to be more efficient.

Agree 100%. This happens all the time in Philly, criminals who should be behind bars out committing crimes.

Reply to comment by AbsentEmpire in Hilco to start building ‘Bellwether District’ on old PES refinery grounds in early 2023 by ColdJay64
That's what should be done, but unfortunately it won't. The developers will most likely require any businesses or residents of the future projects to sign an agreement waiving legal rights in the event that they are exposed to toxic substances and become sick. This was the case at Sienna Place, a residential development build directly across from the refinery on 26th street. The people who bought homes there have no legal protection from the fact they bought on the contaminated land.

That was me. Worked there for many years. There is absolutely no way that land can be properly cleaned up to the point where it is safe for humans to occupy. I feel bad for any contractors/workers who are tasked with excavating and building on land in that zone and for any people who may end up living/working there in the future.

When JFK stadium was no longer in use and before it was demolished, a friend and I used to hop the fence, and go out on the field and have a football catch. Miss those days.
