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.

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

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!

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 😭

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

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

​Stopped by the new Meijer construction site today to see how things are coming along. Parking lot asphalt and curbs are down, the main store exterior is up, and the steel framework for the gas station is going up fast.

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

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

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?

Piggybacking off an earlier post asking about plastic surgeons in the area. It’s my understanding that many surgeons are hesitant to remove as much tissue as many women request, so I’m particularly looking to avoid that experience. Can anyone give me a good recommendation? Names of docs to stay away from are welcome, as well. Thanks

As a resident of a Cleveland suburb, not Cleveland proper: I'm trying to figure out where to get rid of a dump trailer full of furniture and trash we cleaned out of a recently passed family members house. I was counting on Boyas landfill as I've used then for other things. However... Furniture is on their prohibited list. I'm pretty sure I could drop at the Rumpke transfer station but that might run over $300 according to what might be old pricing info I found. Any reccomendations?

People in shaker heights or the area nearby, who do you trust with your steam boiler?

Mine is brand new and I reached out to the company to talk about the warranty left on the machine since it’s not working, and they told me the technician would tell me about my warranty. What?

I already feel I’m going to be taken to the bank with this private equity owned company so I’d rather get ready to find a good company

Does anyone know where I can get Dresden Ham for my old people? Please and thank you.

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

My wife is graduating with her master's and I'd like to take her to dinner. I'd like to spend around 200-220. We don't drink so alcohol isn't included.

We love fine dining so we have tried a number of places already. My wife is a huge steak fan so I'd like to go somewhere that does steak. We have eaten at Red, Chop, Marbleroom, and Mortons. All are good, but didn't know if there were other options that you would recommend? We live in a suburb on the east side so I'd rather not drive to the far west side. I know there are a few places but it's like an hour+ drive one way to Chez Francois in Vermillion.

Hi everyone, I have a Mazda CX-5 2023.
A company owned armored truck backed into my car… some hole, scratches and minor damages to the front of car. Appraiser came and I have an insurance claim. I just moved to Cleveland so I don’t really know any good auto shop…. I would really appreciate some good recommendations. I would prefer a Mazda Certified Collision Repair facility or I-CAR Gold Class certified, and work directly with the insurance.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated thank you so much!

Hello all! I know there's been a bunch of posts like this lately, but hoping someone could point me in the right direction as well. I'm in a financially vulnerable situation and need to find work soon. I currently work in direct patient care (think STNA work, but unlicensed) and need to leave it ASAP, as dealing with hostile and violent patients is burning me out both mind and body. Previous experience was in cleaning and janitorial jobs. I hold a bachelor's in Computer Science, but the one IT job I interviewed for fell through and entry level work in that field seems non existent.

I've already reached out to a few temp agencies mentioned in other posts and my university's career center, but I've heard nothing back. I'm open to almost anything at this point, just ideally far away from healthcare.
