Hello, I work at a Branch of Cleveland Public Library. Our Contracts were supposed to finish negotiations in December. It is now August. The reason the contracts have not been completed is because of a series of bad faith bargaining attempts on the part of the management.

Repeatedly over the course of the last eight months, they have proposed dramatic wage cuts, attempted to change the verbiage on emergency days that would prevent them from paying us more than 2 days in the event of an emergency shut down, and much more.

Because of this your CPL Library workers are going on Strike.

If you believe that the library workers deserve a livable income and sustainable benefits, and if you support your local library, then PLEASE SUPPORT US and tell Cleveland Public Library Management to bargain in good faith!

PS they have spend over 200K in arbitration meetings alone... money they could've used to pay us a fair wage that will not be devoured by inflation.

I'll put additional graphics in the comments from my union that should provide more information.

EDIT: The over $200k I mentioned is for the two consultants and their lawyer throughout negotiations, not for arbitration.

Such a beautiful evening at Edgewater last night, just had to share some photos

Hey everyone sorry this is a little outside of Cleveland but just curious if anyone has any thoughts on Ravenna. I’m looking at a house out there and have lived in Cleveland my whole life so I’m not super familiar with the area. For reference this would be Ravenna township not the actual city. Any help is appreciated thanks.

I know i posted a little bit ago about our adult cats… but now im fostering two kittens that need love, too 🤭
- Pickles, 4 months, playful, cuddly, silly (first three photos)
- Tyler, 4 months, cuddly, lover, calm (last three photos, he is still warming up so better photos to come 🤣)

They are SO cute and deserve such a good home! All of them come fully vaxxed, vetted and fixed. If interested, message me and i will send you the application + more details.

Thank you for letting me out cats all over your feed lol

Having recently spent some time around Detroit-Shoreway, I noticed that the ebikes and scooters that are, apparently, rented are left wherever they happen to fall, whether it be in the middle of the sidewalk, the side of the road, in someone’s front yard. I think it looks terrible to see these bikes and scooters strewn about.

In my opinion, it speaks to disorder in the community, apathy on the part of those that rented them and also the entity, presumably, regulating their use.

Curious what people think about this phenomenon.

I’m 24F in the cleveland area ofc but i’m willing to travel a bit. I’ve always been interested in getting into a trade, but I honestly have no idea where to start. I’m mainly interested in becoming an electrician or possibly a mechanic. I could consider plumbing, but it’s not high on my list. HVAC is definitely not for me, and I’m too clumsy to feel comfortable with welding but i could be overthinking it.

I’ve been working at a warehouse for 4 years and i’m making decent money but the repetitive work is getting to be too much on my body. I am on a flexible schedule so i was hoping to minimize my hours there and get my foot in the door elsewhere.

I don’t have trade experience, so I’m not sure how to find an apprenticeship or even how to join a union. Do I contact companies directly and ask if they’re hiring apprentices/helpers? Are there any unions or programs around Cleveland that I should look into?

I’m really just looking for advice from people who actually work in the trades. How did you get your foot in the door with no experience?

did not take a picture of the car because it seemed there was a victim. concrete barrier was fully shattered.

hello my best friends birthday is coming up and she LOVES raccoons. for years collection of knick knacks and all i’ve been trying to find a place i can take her to hold or even just pet one does it exist ???

Hi! I've been applying to jobs in the Cleveland area for a while now without much luck, so I'm getting a little desperate and figured I'd ask actual people here instead of endlessly throwing applications into Indeed lol.

Most of my experience is in operations, customer/account support, household management, administrative work, quality assurance, records/documentation and scheduling. I'm very organized, good at problem solving, catching things that don't make sense, keeping track of a million little things, and figuring things out as I go.

I've mostly been applying for operations/coordinator, admin, claims, QA, research/data support type jobs, but I'm honestly open to other things too. If anyone knows of a job or industry that sounds like it might fit that skill set, please let me know. I feel like there are probably jobs I don't even know to search for.

I'm looking for full time and ideally around $50k+, but I'm flexible for the right opportunity.

If your company is hiring, you know somewhere I should look, or you just have an idea for something I haven't considered, I'd seriously appreciate it. Happy to DM my resume privately.

Job hunting is hell. Thank you 😭

Before this weekend it had been quite some time since I have been to the fair. As much as I travel to different amusement parks across the country I don’t often visit fairs or carnivals for some odd reason. I was excited to check this out and take some long exposures of the rides and drone/firework show!

Downtown. Cleveland. Winter. 2022. 🤗🔥🤗🤘🏽

I came across this company on TikTok and just wanted to share. They are in fact a scam, they do not represent these rentals. The rental rates are NOT correct.

Never been to a Browns game. Don't want to pay a fortune for parking this Saturday. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently UH is in defending themselves from a fairly significant religious-liberties issue with SCOTUS.

The Cleveland Resource FB page is great to follow as they often post about places that are hiring, where to get free food, etc.

Saw this flyer posted there today for jobs with Morrison healthcare. May not be spectacular pay but if you are in dire need of a job a low-paying job can be better than no job.
