"So Help Me Todd" gave our family an opportunity to all watch a show together. So many shows can be awkward to watch with mixed age groups but this one combined simple slapstick comedy, that can appeal to both younger and older viewers, with more subtle and provocative humor to engage the thoughtful.
It is so important to provide programming that can unite viewers of different ages. It desrves a longer run. This show reminids me of "Psych". Hopefully SHMT will be resurrected in some way like "Psych".
Diana supported: Reinstate So Help Me Todd & Four More, Strike Honoring, Unethically Canceled CBS Series.For me, climbing is a community, not just a sport. I want to add my name to the petition to show my support and belief that all people -- including those in the climbing community -- deserve a chance at a livable wage. By stalling negotiations, employee livelihoods are affected. As a member of the climbing community I want to lend my support for prioritizing negotiations to ensure that those who serve the climbing community feel valued and supported.
Melodie supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionI shouldn’t have to see my coworkers, who still love routesetting, leave because they can’t afford to live in the Bay Area and work this job. Routesetting is highly skilled labor that produces Touchstone’s primary service/attraction. Without routesetting, the gyms would grow stagnant and the membership numbers would drop immensely. Please support your local routesetter! We love our job and the community around us, but need to be compensated in a way that allows us to live comfortably.
Samuel supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further Expansiontouchstone gyms have been an incredibly welcoming and supportive space, thanks in large part to the kind, helpful, friendly people who check us in, make sure we’re safe and teach classes. They deserve higher wages!
Eli supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionTouchstone staff deserve a living wage, particularly in light of the ongoing membership fee increases. Where is this additional revenue going, if not to the employees who keep Touchstone running? We are advocating for a living wage and financial transparency. The Touchstone community and gyms stand out as exceptional compared to other gym cultures, but it’s becoming clear that both customers and employees are being taken advantage of under Touchstone’s current operating model.
Thao supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionTouchstone’s employees are the people who keep bringing me back to these gyms. I hope Touchstone reconsiders how they treat their employees
Reid supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionAs a SoCal touchstone member who was present during the mess of security threats to the gym, I’ve been disillusioned by the current ownership and management for some time. The soul of Touchstone is with its incredible staff. They are the reason why i haven’t swapped to one of the different gyms in LA; however, I’m sincerely disappointed with how Touchstone has handled the unionizing process and has instead focused its attention on an endless expansion rather than boosting the amazing product it currently has. If the news is true that touchstone is retaining an incredibly expensive and incredibly anti-union law firm to handle negotiations, I am more than upset. With this current price increase, now bringing the total increase in membership cost up 12% in just over a year, I’m sincerely considering leaving Touchstone as it’s clear they do not value the people that make these gyms what they are. Don’t pay for your expensive lawyers with my membership fees. Your workers deserve respect and if you cannot currently give them a living wage with health care, then i believe it’s time to reexamine your current business expansion plans. I hope that Touchstone can course correct, that the gyms we know and love will find their way back to us. If not, there are several other amazing climbing gyms in both SoCal and NorCal that would love our business.
Amy supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionWhen I became a Touchstone member in 2018, the rate increase emails included what the rate increases were going to: gym renovations and expansions, improved climbing and fitness offerings, broader outreach programs, and competitive wages and comprehensive healthcare for our employees. Not since 2022 has Touchstone included what the rate increases are allegedly going to in the email. With two rate increases in 2024 (May 2024 and subsequently December 2024 for 2025), Touchstone is clearly raking taking a corporate, profit over people approach. The Touchstone staff are what make any and all of the gyms -- they create community and are simply asking to be treated with respect via fair wages and benefits. Touchstone staff make Touchstone, and they deserve the wages and benefits they are organizing for, whereas management not only ignores them, but is actively anti-worker despite their profit and choice to continue with gym expansions.
Francesca supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionTouchstone has the opportunity to set the bar for competitive wages in the climbing community and make business choices encapsulated in integrity. I believe you need to include the trainers in this wage increase. Do not let the lawyers squeeze them out of this deal please. They have to travel for one or two hours of pay. They don’t get paid for the 30 before and after every class when people pick their brains about injuries and special stretches. At each of their jobs as trainers they are unable to apply to insurance.
Amber supported: Mandate Living Wages for All Touchstone Employees Before Further ExpansionEmployee wellness is the most important part of literally any business. For recreational sports, especially with a higher level of risk involved- climbing and bouldering in this case- you want the best employees, and you want them happy, healthy and engaging with their work at the highest level. Those qualities are impossible to attain if you don’t pay a living wage. People stressed about money will be less engaged with their work, reducing the quality of the workforce and leading to less satisfaction from the community/customers. This is to say nothing of the human and ethical nature of paying less than a living wage- ruining the quality of life for these people who simply want to do something they live and share their passion with others. All for the sake of what…. Increasing net profit and expanding faster? And that expansion will continue with poor worker conditions leading to high turnover (which has a high cost) and a larger dissatisfied customer base. Paying a living wage is the right thing to do- for the people working, for your customers, and for your business.
