Hi, #laborlaw people in the #usa

As an employee of #SUNY (State Uni of NY) I've been told that if I go on strike I go to jail. We don't have the right to strike. This is apparently due to the "Taylor Law," which says public service employees can't strike.

Of course my bosses use this relentlessly.

My questions for anyone willing to comment are:

1. The NLRB's website (so far; haven't finished all the nooks/crannies) seems to be saying everyone can strike without repercussion. Do they really mean "...except public employees"?

2. There's a recent news story that 800 MDs/residents at the medical center of the University at Buffalo (a SUNY school) are contemplating striking. Is this a different case because they're maybe not really UB employees... somehow?

If anyone wants to explain, I'm curious about how these apparent exceptions work (and I assume they do).

Courtesy of @daylightatheism, some cool news: Binghamton University becomes one of the first SUNYs to pass a BDS resolution! (BU is also my spouse's alma mater. 20 years ago they were protesting against Israeli policy towards Palestinians. Oh, how things don't change.) NYS legislators are already overreacting and reaching for state power to censor this.

#Nvidia #GraceSuperchip loses to #Intel #SapphireRapids in #HPC performance #benchmarks, promises greater efficiency
Barcelona #Supercomputing and #SUNY published benchmarks showing Grace Superchip, couldn't quite match TWO 48-core Sapphire Rapids #CPU. Despite not having earth-shattering performance, Grace promises to be competitive datacenter and HPC processor thanks to its efficiency. Built on Arm architecture. A single Grace CPU comes with 72c and 480GB of LPDDR5X RAM

In its wisdom, #SUNY central has apparently decided that allowing an instructor to manage multiple sections of the same course from one LMS shell is a violation of #FERPA

So here I am coding and entering grades and fighting with #brightspace to perfectly synchronize my two intro #statistics courses.

I would like to have a conversation with whatever SUNY lawyers made this ridiculous decision, with a FERPA representative on conference call.
