At 6:20 p.m., each union subcommittee gave a detailed labor report. Reportbacks indicated a steady growth of overall engagement across platforms, except for the case of the YouTube Caucus. A representative from the caucus suggested that this drop-off was most likely because of Mr. Paul, who had recently tweeted that in his opinion, “Climate change is kinda cool and dope, actually:P”

Mr. Paul asked that this be stricken from the meeting notes, citing, “You can’t talk about me like that in my own basement.” The chairperson overruled this request. (The Grievance Council stewards announced that they would follow up privately with Mr. Paul.)

At 6:22 p.m., a skills training titled“Influencers and Capital” was presented as part of a central initiative to standardize best-posting practices. The slide show included the following subsections:

Latte Art Dos and Don’ts

How to Safeguard Your Brand From Scabs

Child Labor? … Parent Profit :)

Monetizing Your Inner Life (Make It Outer!)

Stuff You Should ALWAYS Stand in Front of in Photos

Stuff You Should NEVER Stand in Front of in Photos

Maybe Keep That Part to Yourself?: The Caroline Calloway Story

The skills training ended with a group exercise on how to make it appear like you are about to eat a giant sloppy hamburger while still looking hot.

At 6:42 p.m., the union body voted on this month’s priority ranking for decorative kitchen sign slogans. Results of the vote were as follows: “Gather” took first place; “Life Is Better by the Lake” took second; and “Chop It Like It’s Hot” took third (thereby ending the eight-term prevalence of “*~DoN’t DreAm YoUr LifE … LivE YouR DreAms~*”)

At 6:52 p.m., roles were assigned for the coming picket action to be waged on the Department of Education, following its recent decision to bar the use of social media in public schools. The union body then rehearsed the chant to be used at the picket (“Kids Should Get to Scroll in School, Ads Can Be a Learning Tool!”).
