That's not how pensions work. You don't lose it if you get fired. You're legally entitled to whatever you had vested in the system at the point you leave your employer. So whether he retired or was fired, he'd still get his pension.

Bruh, are you under the impression that these are the only hand-written copies of these documents or something? You can't destroy a digital document by taking it.

It’s telling that ya’ll downvote but won’t reply

> Wouldn't be inconceivable he had been protected

Given that it's the norm to secure their pension when they break the law I'd change that to "it would surprise me if they didn't protect him".

You can't pay a union member more to stay competitive? What kinds of backwards shit is that?

Computer crimes lolmao

He just kept saying “I’m too old for this shit”

I am not in the UAW, but am a manager that relies on UAW skilled tradesmen at a plant in the south.

I hope this brings change because I am hamstrung by our current contract. I cant pay a competitive wage which is well lower than non union shops around us.

I am losing good workers and can't get any valuable replacements.

I already bring everyone in at top pay because I cant get an electrician or robot tech for 22 dollars an hour with a 3 year progression to 30 dollars an hour.

The ones I get at 30 are usually no good, though there is an occasional gem.

Too little info to be sure but I think it’s going more corrupt than that.

The most urgent mental health issue facing the US at the moment is arguably the mass delusion that a country awash with military grade, hand-held shooting machines is a safer country and that the problem of mass shootings can somehow be solved without drastically reducing the number of shooting machines. Do you know what phrase we use in the UK for ‘active shooter’? We don’t have one.

Apparently we get either "random county" that technically exists in ~20 different states, or just the state itself. Wish they could at least standardize to something like "Scituate, Massachusetts" as they have in the actual article.

If he's retired, the police's attorneys may not have to defend him, where in retirement he'll have to pay for his own attorneys.

And California is infamous for its lack of gun laws. /s

That applies to your international neighbours too, USA.

Both Canada and Mexico suffer issues from how readily available guns are in the US. The USA supplies the overwhelming majority of guns owned in Mexico - from farmers to cartel members.

Hey my freedoms are worth more than someone else's life /s

> Without a path to remove weapons from society (not saying this is the answer) we need to come together to figure out how we can make mental health more accessible

Violence and crime are not mental health issues, you don't need to have a mental health problem to decide to commit a crime or to impulsively commit a crime.

Why people commit crimes is a complicated and multifaceted issue, as is how we define what actions are crimes, but don't fall for the right-wing that it's just "mental health." When they say "mental health" what they mean is "some people are just crazy and you can't do anything about it" which is untrue and a distraction from solving real problems

It’s within 2 blocks of California

That is a deep fucking reference. I approve.

The most De La song never performed by De La Soul.

This sounds like he has information on someone and they want him punished for it.

Snowden gave everything he had to American journalists and there is no evidence he gave anything to China or Russia.
