I am looking for a managed service to help me navigate construction arbitration with a contractor that has gone dark on me. I am not one who will realistically be able to represent myself and am looking for a managed service to help me out here.
Does anybody have advice for me? I am in San Antonio Texas if that helps.
American Arbitration Association contract clause
So I signed a contract with a company to provide me services in the form of CV referral and job hunting, they charge $5K upfront and $5K after successfully finding a job through their referral. The contract was exchanged digitally through email only, never in person, and I ended up finding a job without their help, they are now asking for the rest of the money claiming it’s in the contract that if I find any job I owe them the money regardless of the way I find it. The contract stipulates that in case of disputes the parties agree for it to be resolved by the American Arbitration Association. Please advice me how to proceed with this issue. Thank you
For those Government workers currently going through pay negotiations, thought you'd be interested to hear what we got - we just got the result today.
The Government offered 0%, the Association hit back saying that's clearly not fair or good faith employment bargaining.
Negotiations hit a stall with the Police/Government refusing to budge from the 0% and they even stopped turning up to negotiations.
Police can't strike so it went to arbitration. An arbitrator is picked and each party tables their offer, the arbitrator must pick one or the other, no mixing them together.
The arbitrator sided with the Association and we got:
- Effective 1 July 2021 - remuneration increase of $3,150 to each band
- Effective 1 July 2022 - remuneration increase of $3,300 to each band
- All allowances move by 3.5% on July 2021 and again July 2022
- A new 15% shift loading for all hours worked between 1800 - 0600hrs.
- Removal of the 2 hour TOIL rule. Hour for hour will now be compensated with TOIL.
- Short notice shift changes (within 14 days) will by compensated with $100 for the first change, and $50 for every other change within the same 14 day period. Excludes any voluntary changes.
For clarity, this was a long battle. As you can see there are payments back to July 2021, this is when this was all supposed to be finalised.
Anyone ever use AAA for individual arbitration's which is outlined in Cash Apps LDDA/Access Agreement/Prepaid Card Program Agreement for getting your money back? or have went fourth and taking them to your local small claims court to file a claim??
In Tennessee, I’m in an arbitration with my builder and the AAA is unilaterally changing official documents pertaining to the arbiter. I noticed some discrepancies between the arbiters billing and his agreed billing rate. The AAA presented the rate in the official claim documents and the arbiter agreed to it at the same time he swore to be impartial and neutral. When the discrepancy was pointed out the AAA said the decided to simply change the document to show the now higher rate. Is it legal to unilaterally change formal documents to a proceeding in this way especially after the irregularities were brought into question?
Copied and pasted from my MTS newsletter.
On February 15, 2021, the Pembina Trails arbitration board issued a unanimous award. Significant gains were made on the association’s three key proposals of economic protection, defined job expectations, and job security. This award is an unprecedented decision for teachers.
Here are the highlights:
- Effective Period / Salaries and Allowances
The board awarded a four-year effective period with the following increases: July 1, 2018: 1.6% July 1, 2019: 1.4% July 1, 2020: 0.5% July 1, 2021: COLA determined as Statistics Canada’s 2021 inflation rate This award is now the pattern.
The board rejected the division’s ability to pay arguments, reaffirmed the Louis Riel pattern in the first two years, and enshrined inflation protection in the third and fourth years.
Enshrining inflation protection in an interest arbitration award through a COLA formula is a breakthrough in Manitoba teacher collective bargaining.
- Term Contracts
The board awarded the Louis Riel language restricting the division’s use of term contracts.
- Assignable Time
The board placed new restrictions on the length of the instructional day in the Pembina Trails School Division: Maximum 5 hours and 50 minutes in each high school Maximum 5 hours and 45 minutes in all other schools This is the first time such a clause has been awarded through teacher interest arbitration in Manitoba.
Hey /r/nursing. Some of you might remember a few months back when I posted about The New York Times and their ridiculous anti-worker coverage of "the nursing shortage." Well, I'm back again with a fresh dose of public humiliation to administer on my day off. In this post we will examine the history of the American Heart Association, how they accumulated $1,437,669,656 in assets, and what their priorities are (hint: it's not saving lives).
Objectively, the AHA does a lot of good in the world. But they also waste a FUCK TON of money. Many of you have seen their October guidance recommending nurses sacrifice themselves to start early CPR on COVID patients before putting on PPE. I think it's important that we critically examine the history and intentions of these institutions that are failing us (and our patients) on such a remarkable level.
The Creation of the AHA
The AHA was created in 1924 by six cardiologists to consolidate research in the budding field of cardiology in an era of “almost unbelievable ignorance.” This was an important and promising evolution: finally the multitude of small research organizations scattered across America had united into a contiguous blob with the legitimacy to establish guidelines and promote cutting edge data. Huzzah!
The Corruption of the AHA
The AHA remained small until the 1940s when it was selected for support by Procter & Gamble from a list of applicant charities. P&G had just invented the artificial trans-fat margarine Crisco, and were on the hunt of a medical organization they could bribe donate to in return for an organized PR beatdown of Crisco's competition -- animals fats. The head of this PR campaign was none other than the renowned piece of shit, tobacco propagandist Edward Bernays.
P&G paid the AHA $1.5 million ($30 million dollars in today's money) and the AHA began pushing trans fats as a heart-healthy alternative to animal fats. From Wikipedia:
>We now know that the artificial trans-fat from partially hydrogenated vegetable oils are detrimental to human health.

He is an anti-vaxxer, and known for "debunking" current claims about COVID-19, and it's vaccines. Most of his scientific claims involve cherry-picking studies and misusing public databases that wasn't intended to make the claims he tries to make with him. He is so discredited that he is even being used by Baylor to stop using their University as his credentials.
He is most notable for claiming things such as; COVID-19 vaccines are being used as a "depopulation tool" and that a "vaccine Holocaust" is occurring. Of course, Joe Rogan blindly nods and agrees with him throughout whole entire duration of the podcast without questioning him once.
So, when one user on the sub makes a post titled "Something you should know about Dr. Peter McCullough" detailing how much of a fraud and hack this guy is; it rises to the top very rapidly, but not without some controversy. Other users are ready to defend him and Joe Rogan to death, no matter what it takes. As such drama ensues.
Why is it that Rogan fans are over indexed in stupidity? [+57]
