This is classic "yellow union" speak from Portland Patrol Inc. Owner William Guidice. He opposes workers choosing their own union, but says he supports "self unionizing."
What he wants is a union run by the boss, so PPI can look better in grant bids without offering any better conditions or pay.

![“Everyone was very excited about this effort, and I vocally explained to the entire team how this would open new doors for PPI,” Guidice said.
In the end, it was the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) that denied SRT members the right to unionize with the transit workers’ union. In March 2024, an NLRB hearings officer determined SRT staff are classified as guards, and thus ineligible to join ATU, which cannot legally represent both guard and non-guard employees. Despite Guidice’s claims of supporting his staff’s organizing efforts, PPI argued against the union during the NLRB hearing, maintaining its employees were guards.
“After presenting that decision to the team, I [told them] not to give up and that they could still self-unionized (sic) by filling out a form on the NLRB website,” Guidice told the Mercury.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h2ieofwj7ioch4dtdithpsnt/bafkreie5vsb3zu3azfk6wu44xhyn2zjy5zzou73sxessxsynvj335lmbye@jpeg)

My favorite movies from 2025, was lucky enough to see some really incredible Latin American films in CDMX.
Also some older movies and books I loved that I saw/read for the first time this year and my thoughts on working in PreK these past few months for Derange. www.derange.co/p/the-pulpit...

Striking baristas and community supporters shutdown the 172nd Damascus, OR Starbucks on a cold Saturday morning a week into Starbucks Workers United’s nationwide strike. Management has tried to run a skeleton crew of GMs and workers recently fired when Starbucks permanently closed a local store.

This ideal sports watching environment led me to finding out about the Cavs broadcast putting “the diff” above the score because they think the fine people of Cleveland are to stupid to know they’re up 6 when it’s 96-90.

Fit check for NBA opening night.
I’m going to see Blazers vs Timberwolves & I’m rooting for a good clean game. No funny business, no showboating, no hard fouls or carry overs. Just good clean fundamentals, bounce passes, triple threat stances, vertical defensive positioning, and sportsmanship.

I was in Oaxaca when federal agents invaded Los Angeles, where so many people from Yalalag lived or had family.
A surreal week with some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, people obviously not met with the same hospitality in the States.
