"Other duties as assigned" for the employees who are reporting to the office. Clean up after yourselves and treat your work area with respect or you've fired yourself.

If the union or those 48 families cared about having a job right at Christmas time, it probably wasn't a smart idea to go on strike at Christmas time.  They rolled the dice and lost.

I'd have some sympathy for someone laid off right before Christmas, but not for someone that chose not to work and got fired.

Yeah you forget when you don't spend much time in "mask zones" that there are still people wearing them all the time, and wearing them wrong, wearing odd useless ones. Here in God's toaster oven it's usually old folks, sometimes Hispanic construction guys

Travelling I saw some black folks wearing masks. Some hadblack masks, which I had never seen before.

"just before Christmas".

Can you imagine the Monday morning conference call between Obama & his ilk "Ya, we want you to stop cleaning the building so we can make Musk look bad. We have coordinated with the SEIU & have the media narrative already written"
Commie Contractor "Ok. We'll show Musk who's boss"

Que liberal tears...


Failing to fulfill a contract for cleaning services THEN hiring a rent mob to protest is a bad look.

Are they contractors or employees?

Contractors who break an agreement to work can have their contract terminated on the spot.

There is likely payment clearings and such that can take 30-90 days, but, I didn't see where the janitorial services were twitter employees.

Since 80% of the staff at twitter is now gone, I'm sure there is less to clean up after.

damn right.  If I decided to strike at my work I'd be on the street so fast my head would spin.  Three people I work with were unceremoniously laid of yesterday and each of them was a hard-working employee that had all been here like 10 years or more.  Life is hard, these folks should have showed up to work instead of striking to somehow fight for job security lol.

Their contract was up on 12/09
I read there was already a new non-union company contracted, they may have already started.

Twitter is going to get sued due to bullshit San Francisco union law regarding how union contracts can be terminated.

San Francisco city officials have already started investigating that sleeping quarters were set up for the Twitter staff. "If overnight stays and sleeping quarters are/is occurring that would be against city code."

So the union already knew the people were not going to be working there more than a few more days, and decided to trade their last few days of work for some political points?

If they were working for an "outside contractor" they were not working for Twitter directly... protesting at/against Twitter was stupid of them. If they weren't getting paid well, that is between them and the company they actually work for. You can bet money that Twitter was paying that company a lot more than what the workers were being paid! Their beef is with the wrong entity... and it cost them their jobs.

Good!  Fuck them and their union.  

The union still does not get it that companies write paychecks and they are based on profit and expense accounting.  

Unions don't write the check so their demands are just that, demands and in this case Musk said we don't need your services.  Bye.

Funny how quickly the ignorant show up to yell their nonsense.

Go to China, or India, or Vietnam, etc, to e see what the working conditions are without unions.

Go actually read history and see what it was like in the US before unions.

You blame guns for “gun crime”, right?  So it’s the unions fault corrupt people ruin some of them?  Not a perfect analogy, but it works.

It’s a Pagan holiday that shouldn’t be Celebrated anyway. And not too many people would if they knew it originally included placing live infants on a red hot statue and burning them to death.

And F the Roman Catholic Church for trying to say it’s ok because “Jesus (not even his real name), conquered it and made it holy”. Yeah….because the Old Testament is full….full of instances of Yahweh being cool and letting his people engage in the practices of other religions.
