“I support a system in which the president would appoint a justice every 2 yrs to spend 18 yrs in active service on the #SupremeCourt.

“3rd, I’m calling for a binding #CodeOfConduct for the Supreme Court. This is common sense. The court’s current #voluntary #ethics code is weak & #SelfEnforced. Justices should be required to disclose gifts, refrain from public political activity & recuse themselves from cases in which they or their spouses have financial or other #ConflictsOfInterest.

In March, a small #nonprofit in #BritishColumbia cut 10 cheques worth approximately $5,500 each & hand delivered them to as many #FirstNations on southern #VancouverIsland. The money, collected in the second half of 2023, is the first annual installment of #voluntary #rents paid by residents & business owners who live & work on the First Nations’ homelands.

The #SouthIslandReciprocityTrust is the brainchild of Craig Candler.

On May 7 #BCgovernment #MinistryOfForests announced the launch of a new #Forest Operations #Map (FOM) portal where #BritishColumbians can now access & comment on proposed operations, including #cutblocks & #roads, after amendments to Forest & Range Practices Act #FRPA.

Though the majority of #forestry companies in #BritishColumbia have committed to presenting their proposed operations in the #FOMportal, the project is currently #voluntary, the press release stated.

I didn't know this #employer behaviour was #legal. #Staff who worked extensive hours unpaid (no overtime pay) but when they demanded #fairpay & didn't get it, they reduced their work by 10%. For this they were docked 100% of pay. I was flabbergasted to read that the 90% the workers did was considered to be #voluntary by the #university. Of course, they weren't told that in advance. Meanwhile the management get enormous salaries & perks. ucu.org.uk/article/13319/Union #unions #highereducaton #academic

www.ucu.org.ukUnion calls on University of Portsmouth to reverse punitive sanctions on staff UCU members at the University of Portsmouth are calling on the university to refund the deductions it made from the pay of staff who took part in industrial action in the summer and autumn.

Question for #mastodaoine or #mastodonuk people who have #streamed #video of a #meeting. What advice do you have for a small #UK #voluntary #organisation who want a #streaming option to broaden the reach of a niche conference?
I've seen very professional #events by the #London #Excel #Meetup group, the Global Excel Summit, etc, but they don't have staff or budget for that. Maybe #Youtube or #Meetup have something easy? With a mobile phone and external mic? Wifi or fixed line internet?
