September 10

 Dear Cindy. 

This is my official first day back at work. 

However, my union declared STRIKE last week. 

My office is declared to be STRUCK and on a picket line. 

The air quality outside is hazardous due to wildfires to the west. So, we have the OPTION of attending a virtual picket line. 

What does that mean? 

Don't log in to the employer's systems (I can't as my laptop is still in the office - behind the line). 

Attend a Zoom Call "Can everyone hear me?" to discuss labour actions. 

Do some homework - which today mean watching the National Film Board movie FINAL OFFER, a 1985 documentary about the 1984 contract negotiations between the United Auto Workers and General Motors and the differences between the Canadian wants/needs and American counterpart union.  

It was an interesting watch. The filmography is dated, which is fantastic too. 

After my homework, I was able to catch up on household chores/projects. Like completely washing down our spring planting shelf - which also serves as a piece of furniture in our main room. And the Master Bedroom got a deep clean under the bed. DUST BUNNIES are GONE!
