I'll never be accused of calling a Libertarian ideological consistent. See, that's the thing. Libertarians claim to be so on all things when the majority are mostly just calling it when it comes to markets and taxes. They'll go full fasci when it comes to speech, people they dislike (trans), wokeness, DEI, or whatever the fuck flavor of the week is on fox. It ain't perfect but it's what we got. You fail to understand these 'reps of the people' are 100% representing special interests and corporate interests on the GOP side and about 70% on the dem side. You know how terrorism is a force multiplier in warfare? Well, money's a vote multiplier in elections. Dude also owns a lawn business if I recall, a bill that benefits him directly. You throw enough "commies" are coming to get ya rhetoric, you'll convince any republican of how good your snake oil bill is. Sure, because government is known for its expedience and determination, not its gridlock and political footballing (ie immigration reform, passing the budget) yes, Mr. Joe Schmo dying of cancer from deregulation can fight that SCOTUS battle w/his imaginary bottomless pocket and beat his employer because SCOTUS is totally not partisan nor bought and paid for. I'm sure that immigrant teenager being abused will do just that, and make that tri-state trip with that bountiful deregulated minimum wage Libertarians got her thank god people are free to collectively bargain then. For now at least
No. You’re just making up most of this stuff and imagining that the union is the problem. Again, unions haven’t caused any harm to you. Ford and GM are very profitable. Why you would put a company over people for no good reason is beyond me. Think harder about this stuff.

F, San Francisco’s new drug screening law Service Employees International Union Local 1021 is taking its concerns about Proposition F to the state labor relations board. Labor organizers from SEIU Local 2021 are raising the possibility of a strike over Prop. F, a ballot measure that ties cash benefits to drug screenings for some welfare recipients. The union's president, Theresa Rutherford, said the measure could harm workers. | Source:Courtesy Share By Annie Gaus Published Mar. 08, 2024 One of San Francisco's largest unions has asked a California labor board to void Proposition F, a ballot measure that mandates drug screening for some cash welfare recipients, after it was approved by voters this week. The Service Employees International Union Local 1021, which represents city employees at the Human Services Agency, filed an unfair practice charge on March 7 with the California Public Employment Relations Board (PERB). The union asked the board to void Prop. F on the grounds that the measure could adversely affect workers and that the city was required to give prior notice before placing it on the ballot. “We will also file a Request to Expedite, which asks PERB to put this case to the front of its queue due to the urgency of the matter,” said Theresa Rutherford, president of SEIU Local 1021. Prop. F affects single adults with no children who receive County Adult Assistance Programs, a cash program known as CAAP. If an individual is suspected of being addicted to illegal drugs, they will be required to undergo drug screening and agree to some form of treatment as a condition of continuing to receive benefits. The measure passed handily with San Francisco voters, receiving about 60% of votes according to the latest tally. Prop. F’s sponsor, Mayor London Breed, has argued that more accountability is needed for people who use city funds to abuse illegal drugs. Opponents argue the measure is punitive and will harm some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. In a filing, the union argued that Prop. F could put workers who interact with welfare recipients at risk. Short-staffing among city workers makes Prop. F “all but impossible to execute fairly and consistently without substantial new investment in staffing, training, and worker safety,” Rutherford said. “We reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings and engage in collective worker actions to protest the city’s persistent unfair labor practices, up to and including an unfair labor practice strike,” Rutherford said. In a Feb. 26 letter, Jonathan Rolnick, chief labor attorney at the City Attorney's Office, responded to the union's claim that the city was required to provide notice and an opportunity to bargain over the ballot measure. Rolnick wrote that the SEIU's reasoning was incorrect and outside the scope of what would be considered a bargaining matter. "Your assertions that if Prop. F passes, there will be an increase in threats to these employees’ safety and their workloads will increase is entirely speculative and thus does not trigger an obligation to meet and confer," Rolnick wrote. He added that any new trainings or changes to work protocols "do not reflect a significant and adverse effect on working conditions." Trent Rhorer, executive director of the Human Services Agency, said in an email Wednesday that Prop. F will be implemented starting on Jan. 1, 2025. He said the substance use screenings will be conducted by a clinician and include a set of questions combined with the clinician’s observations of the client. “HSA has been planning since it went on the ballot and will continue to do so,” Rhorer said. I know democracy. Union is subverting the process. Is that enough hurt for you or not personal enough?
The process clearly had been approved with no drug provision but I guess addicts don't need food anymore according to this NIMBY prop looking for ways to reduce what, number of homeless by taking their lunch? Let me guess, no exclusions for weed since it's scheduled federally despite defacto state by state enforcement? Sometimes voters vote stupid. Remember when Cali democratically banned gay marriage too? Pete Wilson and his immigrant law? big win for healthcare doing the screening and running the clinics I guess. We should pull tax credits & corporate welfare from Yuppies and CEO addy/cokeheads too.
If they live on the streets, defecate everywhere, shoot and deal drugs in plain sight, expect free food and healthcare from various associations at taxpayers expense, break into cars and threaten bystanders?... Sure, let's get the yuppies and CEOs too!
but none of those reasons were used to pass this provision were they? It merely states if "addicted", you don't get welfare. So why are we handing out tax credits and corporate welfare to addicts?
