On Friday, workers represented by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 27 at Kentmere Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Center in Wilmington voted unanimously to ratify a new contract. Notching a victory not only for themselves, but providing an example for workers across the region that collective action can garner positive results.
Two weeks of informational pickets in April organized by workers and UFCW 27 representatives, along with a rally on Kentmere Parkway, coaxed management to the negotiating table and last week workers approved the newly negotiated terms.

Your liberal policy making apparatus at work. See how things quickly go from something some guy said to something Republicans use in attack ads. This Pride Month, They’re Trying to Drag Everyone Back Into the Closet On Friday in NYC, the annual Drag March for Pride Month got under way in Tompkins Square Park. It […]
Last week’s poll results and this week’s poll question
38% of us think that the peripatetic GOP will forget about how outraged they were that some non-millionaires might get a government benefit. In fact I think the GOP has already forgotten that blocking free school lunch was going to be an election issue this year. This week’s poll: On another post, I said […]
“Franklin Cooke is a fucking liar.”
Karl and REV give the Bunker take on the LEOBOR name change fraudulence. As usual it comes down to getting rid of the shitty Democrats and hoping the new Democrats don’t turn shitty. I’ll also put my thoughts on Matt Meyer in the comments section at some point. 2 DAYS AGO AT 8:01 AM E248 – POSTing PODPAT […]
Fuck You Walgreens – Your Policy is Bullshit, and Fire this guy
My religion prohibits me from being a decent human being. Walgreens pharmacist cites his religion for denying a transgender man’s hormone replacement meds For nearly three years, Roscoe Rike has been picking up his hormone-replacement therapy prescriptions at the same Walgreens in Oakland, California, without a hitch. That changed on Monday when the 30-year transgender […]

Nothing fishy about this WGMD show
Maybe it is me, but the ad for this radio show seems to be missing something.
Seaford’s Asinine Bullshit Breaking Nationally
Just wait until the national media learns that Seaford’s “corporations can vote” plan also includes giving African Americans 3/5ths of a vote.
A Delaware city is set to give corporations the right to vote in elections
The state of Delaware is famously business-friendly. With more than 1.8 million entities registered in the First State, companies outnumber its human residents by nearly two-to-one.
One city is now moving to raise businesses’ influence in the state even further, with a proposal to grant them the right to vote.
Seaford, a town of about 8,000 on the Nanticoke River, amended its charter in April to allow businesses — including LLCs, corporations, trusts or partnerships — the right to vote in local elections. The law would go into effect once both houses of Delaware’s state legislature approve it.
Song of the Day 6/22: Stray Cats, “Cat Fight (Over a Dog Like Me)”
Republicans always seem to stick together, if only because they’re the minority party in the U.S. so they’re doomed if they don’t. Give them a scrap of power, though, and they’ll fight over it like seagulls over a french fry. Case in point: The House of Representatives’ two reigning divas, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren […]
Another Day, Another Corrupt Real Estate Deal Which Will Allow the Omanis & Saudis to Transfer Hundreds of Millions into Trump Bank Accounts
I’m beginning to get the feeling that Republicans really don’t care that Trump is fully owned by foreign governments.
The “show me the money!” generation
I’m so old that I remember when judges were not in it for the big bucks. They were intellectually aloof, like college professors happily ensconced in their academic villages. They were at ease with a life of the mind. The gentile poverty that comes with valuing ideas over bottles of rare wine was not considered […]

Kentmere Workers Secure New Contract
DL Open Thread Wednesday June 21 2023
1) Fuck Hunter Biden. That said – for Republicans everything is always about presidential electoral politics and nothing is ever about policy.
Since they are widely hated for their policies (and because they are awful), they have to make their opponent MORE awful in the eyes of low info voters.
That was easy with Hillary Clinton. It was harder to do with Biden, but the project NEVER stops. It is relentless and bottomless.
2) “Sweetheart deal”. That’s what the DOJ kept trying to give to Trump. When Merrick Garland’s made the decision to not investigate Trump for trying to overthrow the government because Republicans might get mad – that was a pretty fucking sweet deal.
A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year would pass before prosecutors and FBI agents jointly embarked on a formal probe of actions directed from the White House to try to steal the election. Even then, the FBI stopped short of identifying the former president as a focus of that investigation.
BREAKING: Hunter Biden To Plead Guilty–Get Probation
From the Washington Post: President Biden’s son Hunter has reached a tentative agreement with federal prosecutors to plead guilty to two minor tax crimes and admit to the facts of a gun charge under terms that would likely keep him out of jail, according to court papers filed Tuesday. Any proposed plea deal would have […]
