IUPAT District Council 21 Local 2011 maintains this social media site as a platform to discuss and advocate for important issues facing members and working families today. Links and content posted on this site are not necessarily endorsements by Local 2011. Comments posted by users do not necessarily represent the views of the Local 2011. To encourage civil comments and debate, we will not block or delete comments simply because they express views contrary to Local 2011's positions. However, we insist on civility, and for that reason, we will remove comments that attack others on the basis of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity or sexual orientation. We will also remove comments that advocate violence. Since a comprehensive list of what constitutes disrespectful or inappropriate commentary is impossible to create, we also reserve the right to remove other comments we consider inappropriate or block any individual who repeatedly posts inappropriate comments. We do this not to stifle dissent but to promote an exchange of ideas instead of ad hominem attacks. Please keep in mind that content posted on social media sites is often publicly accessible. Given that employers frequently monitor public posts, they may be able to use information shared here as a grounds to discipline or discharge employees. Federal law protects an employee’s right to join with others to protest substandard working conditions and to seek to improve one’s wages and working conditions. Please understand, however, that employees may nonetheless be subject to discipline for speech that causes harm to others or that is disloyal to an employer’s legitimate interests.
