Soon the tribe of misfits, dreamers, and outcasts will gather in Chicago for the 50th Annual Nebula Awards. Think about that for a moment – Fifty Fucking Years! Lord-a-mercy, could Damon Knight have ever foreseen such an event when he passed the hat to create the Science Fiction Writers of America? Since that time SFWA […]
Once upon a time, in an elementary school far, far away, I read a banned book. My teacher was the one who gave it to me, hoping that introducing me to genre fiction would spark something in me. When I was in fourth grade, I was functionally illiterate. When I was forced to read, I […]
At the Milford Writers' Conference in September, 1966 Damon Knight cornered me in his kitchen and said, "I want you to run for President of SFWA when my term is up next year." I was startled by that. I was 31 years old, and though I had already been an active s-f writer for more […]

Coercion is the practice of forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner by use of intimidation or threats or some other form of pressure or force. It involves a set of various types of forceful actions that violate the free will of an individual to induce a desired response, usually having a strict choice or option against a person in such a way a victim cannot escape, for example: a bully demanding lunch money to a student or the student gets beaten. These actions can include, but are not limited to, extortion, blackmail, torture, and threats to induce favors. Coercion may involve the actual infliction of physical pain/injury or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat. The threat of further harm may lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced.
- See also: Tyranny
- The path to guidance is one of love and compassion, not of force and coercion. This hath been God's method in the past, and shall continue to be in the future!
- Báb, The Persian Bayán, II, 16.
- So what is government? Very simply, it is an agency of coercion.
Of course, there are other agencies of coercion—such as the Mafia. So to be more precise, government is the agency of coercion that has flags in front of its offices.
Or to put it another way, government is society's dominant producer of coercion. The Mafia and independent bandits are merely fringe competitors—seeking to take advantage of the niches and nooks neglected by the government.
- Harry Browne, Why Government Doesn't Work (1996), Part One, chapter 2, page 12.
- The idea of painless, non-threatening coercion is an illusion. Fear is the inseparable companion of coercion, and its inescapable consequence. If you think it your duty to make children do what you want, whether they will or not, then it follows inexorably that you must make them afraid of what will happen to them if they don't do what you want.
- John Holt, How Children Fail (1964).
- Legal coercion is a course which the law allows.
- Rooke, J., Cox v. Morgan (1801), 1 Bos. & Pull. 410; reported in James William Norton-Kyshe, Dictionary of Legal Quotations (1904), p. 30.
- In different places over the years I have had to prove that socialism, which to many western thinkers is a sort of kingdom of justice, was in fact full of coercion, of bureaucratic greed and corruption and avarice, and consistent within itself that socialism cannot be implemented without the aid of coercion. Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as "we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology". The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion.
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, [St. Austin Review Interview with Joseph Pearce, Sr., 2 no. 2 (February 2003).
- Amid this life based on coercion, one and the same thought constantly emerged among different nations, namely, that in every individual a spiritual element is manifested that gives life to all that exists, and that this spiritual element strives to unite with everything of a like nature to itself, and attains this aim through love.
- Leo Tolstoy, A Letter to a Hindu (1908), II.
- Le souverain même n'a aucun droit d'employer la contrainte pour amener les hommes à la religion, qui suppose essentiellement choix et liberté. Ma pensée n'est pas plus soumise à l'autorité que la maladie ou la santé.
- Even the sovereign has no right to use coercion to lead men to religion, which by its nature supposes choice and liberty. My thought is no more subject to authority than is sickness or health.
- Voltaire, Questions sur l'Encyclopédie (1770–1774), "Canon Law: Ecclesiastical Ministry" (1771).
- Even the sovereign has no right to use coercion to lead men to religion, which by its nature supposes choice and liberty. My thought is no more subject to authority than is sickness or health.

ESPN.com: NFC West | [Print without images] |
Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando
Seattle takes a seven-game winning streak over the Rams to St. Louis for a Week 15 game that will again demonstrate how far these teams have fallen.
The last time the Rams defeated the Seahawks was also the last time the Rams won a playoff game. The date was Jan. 8, 2005. Qwest Field was the setting. Bobby Engram's inability to catch a fourth-down pass from Matt Hasselbeck in the final minute stands as the enduring memory from the Rams' 27-20 victory.
Almost four years seems like forever given how quickly things change in the NFL. When the teams met in that January 2005 playoff game:

Musical Acts, Armstrong To Lend Support To Nike's Human Race
Published August 4, 2008
Cyclist Lance Armstrong and musical acts including rapper Kanye West "will lend star power" to the August 31 Nike+ Human Race, which will be held simultaneously in 25 cities and is being billed as the "world's first global 10K," according to Jim Hage of the WASHINGTON POST. The U.S. races will take place in the early evening and "will be followed by musical acts, much like Nike's Run Hit Wonder series that began in 2003." However, unlike that series, Nike "has no plans to continue the Human Race beyond this year." Nike has hired "top race management companies in each of the host cities, but this is clearly Nike's show, fueled by Nike's money." Nike Media Relations Manager Jacie Prieto: "This has been a huge focus, company-wide." Conley Sports CEO John Conley, whose company is managing the Austin, Texas, Human Race: "There's lots of creativity, plenty of adaptations, and it's an exciting way to do business. But it's not our race -- I'm much more risk-averse than Nike. We're just along for the ride." Chicago race official Sue Hopkinton said that she "expects 15,000 runners" for the Chicago race (WASHINGTON POST, 8/3).
WORKER RIGHTS: Nike said that it "has taken steps to correct worker-abuse problems in a factory it uses in Malaysia," an action that the company said "reflects its concerns about the country's chronic labor shortage and how it affects factory workers" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 8/4). In Portland, Richard Read reported Nike "plans to investigate all 37 of its contract factories in Malaysia after a television station found that one plant garnished wages, housed foreign workers in squalor and withheld their passports." Australia broadcaster Channel 7 said that it "found 'human trafficking on a massive scale' at the T-shirt factory, where foreign workers were paid a pittance to manufacture apparel." The TV report last week said that "workers were housed 26 to a room in filthy conditions, with hundreds of men bathing in a single trough" (Portland OREGONIAN, 8/2).

The other day, I forget which one, I worked something out that had been confusing me. Why, given all the fun I get out of photography and given all the time I spend doing it and thinking about it, have I not immersed myself in all the technicalities of photography? Why is it that the only setting on my camera that I regularly use is the one called "Automatic"? Why am I no nearer to understanding manual focussing than I was a decade ago?
The answer is that it is the point-and-shoot sort of photography that strikes me as the most interesting sort of photography now happening. Not in art galleries where the latest black-and-white photos of plague victims or under-age African soldiers are on display, in photos that cost more to buy than paintings and took more trouble to produce. That is all so twentieth century, and even, actually, nineteenth century. What counts now, for me, are the photos you can take with your mobile phone camera, or with the jumped-up mobile phone camera that I use, and the sort of photos that regular people are now able to take, of regular stuff rather than of foreign catastrophes that someone will pay them to take art-gallery standard photos of.
In short, I take point-and-shoot pictures because I like to be part of history, and this is where the history of photography now is. (If you disagree, realise that what you are reading is not an argument. It is a description of a feeling.)
What I have is called a "bridge" camera, but all that this means is that it is a bog-standard point-and-shoot camera that takes somewhat better photos when you go click, and which has a twiddly screen, and a lens that can go from close-up to mega-zoom without any faffing about with multiple lenses. I have the best cheap camera that I can get, rather than the cheapest proper camera. Oh, you can set my camera on manual and go all Real Photographer with it. But if you want to do that, you should have a proper Real Photographer camera, not a bridge camera, and you should have a rucksack full of lenses, each perfect for each oh-so-carefully-taken shot. What "bridge" means is the best camera you can have without having to give any thought to "photography". Instead, you just think about the picture. More precisely, you think about what you see and which of the things that you see are the most interesting, and why.
My camera is not really any sort of "bridge". Bridge suggests that I am going somewhere with it, somewhere different, as in different from the technical point of view. But I'm not. Technically, I am staying right where I am. If I am getting better at photography, it is because I am getting better at choosing what to point my camera at.
A bridge camera is rather like "crossover" music in that respect. Crossover music is not for people who are actually doing any crossing over, from one sort of music to any other sort of music. Crossover music is its own sort of music. The people who like crossover music (and there's nothing wrong with that) are people who like crossover music and who will continue to listen to crossover music, with no actual crossing over from any other sort of music to any other sort of music happening at all.
No links, because I thought of this all by myself.
Nothing from me here today, but something at Samizdata (which makes a change), in the form of a remarkable song lyric from the 1920s by Cole Porter. Pure libertarianism. They maybe did not have the word back then (I don't know), but they certainly had the thing itself:
Live and let live, and remember this line:
Your business is your business,
And my business is mine.
Here is a London picture, with the River Thames turned into a floor, very badly carpeted with very bad carpet tiles:
It's Google Maps's 3D-isation of London.
Despite the bad river carpeting, I would like to explore this Virtual London. But none of the reports I read of this exciting new virtuality tell me how can do this. Can I? And if I can, will I have to pay?
I love this, from AndrewZ at Samizdata, commenting on this piece by Natalie Solent, which quotes a couple of particularly demented pieces of writing in the Guardian, about cupcake fascism (this phrase should never be forgotten) and about the horrors of tourism. (Natalie has been agreeably busy at Samizdata of late.)
Says AZ:
The online edition of any newspaper that isn't behind a paywall relies on advertising to generate income and this depends on maximising the number of page views. The simplest way to do that is to publish outrageous and provocative opinions that will attract links from elsewhere and start a blazing row among the regular commenters. The great liberal newspaper of old is now little more than a group blog that trolls its own readers for advertising revenue.
No link from here to the original pieces, about cupcake fascism or tourism. Oh no. BmdotCOM is not falling into that trap.
Now that I have read the rest of them, I can report that all the comments at Samizdata on this posting are pretty good and worth a look.
One of the rules I have developed for my own photographic activities is to try always to take pictures, in among all the merely nice pictures, which tell me where I was and what these nice pictures were of.
I do not always follow this rule. Rules are like that. The ones you follow all the time, automatically, don't have to be rules. It's the rules you often break which are nevertheless good which have to be rules, to persuade you to follow them more than you would otherwise.
Here, for instance, is a fun snap:
That was taken on June 29th 2007, 5.38pm (plus 30 seconds), a fact which I now know because my camera automatically recorded it. I called the photo ArtHasItsUses, as this young guy is demonstrating. But, where are we? I have two other snaps of the same scene, but none of them include any information about exactly where we are, like a street name. Nor did I photo the plaque at the bottom of the sculpture, as I often do. This would likewise have given me some useful words to google, and offered me the opportunity to supply a link to other works by the same artist. But I did neither of these sensible things.
I tried following the phone number that you can see behind the Thing, but before anything would tell me anything about that (maybe) then the anythings in question demanded to know all kinds of things about me, and I gave up.
I understand that many cameras nowadays automatically record exact place of shot along with exact time of shot. Mine is not such a camera.
A vague clue is that, judging by other photos taken somewhat earlier, I appear to have been in the general vicinity of Islington, North London. But where? And what is this rather agreeable Thing? Who did it? Anybody?
Incoming, entitled "Request Link Removal":

The link in the above email is to an entire month of postings here, so it took me a while to find the offending link in question. I was half hoping I wouldn't find it, so I could send a sarky email back saying: Be more specific. Which posting? No such luck. It's in this posting, where is says "November". Worth following that link because it is to one of my very best ever (I think) photos.
I don't understand what a "nofollow tag" is or how to make such a thing work, so I just removed the link.
My link originally went "http(semicolon)//stpancras.eurostar.com/en-gb/why-we-moving" (I've changed ":" to "(semicolon)" there to stop this version causing more grief). Trying StPancrasDotEurostarDotCom now gets Google saying:
Oops! Google Chrome could not find stpancras.eurostar.com. Did you mean: www.eurostar.com/stpancras
Interesting that Google omits the question mark there, I think.
So, presumably this is a case of an old Eurostar website that they no longer want anyone reading.
Or is it? I don't know. Can anyone tell me more about what just happened?
To me, it all has a slightly objectionable taste to it. The link to our site no longer works, so you must remove your link to it. Why? Why can't the link just not work any more? Does it clog up the internet, or something, with repeated attempts to make the link work? Is that what this is about?
Yes, I'm afraid I've been doing rather a lot of quota posting of late.
So anyway, here's the link.
And here is the quota photo:
That's actually one of my more favourite recent photos. It was taken just before Christmas, in Twickenham, where Patrick Crozier lives, through the window of a shop where they sell … things like that.
I like the water on the window.
Incoming from Simon Gibbs re the Rob Waller Sermon that I SQotDed Samizdata, while getting in a muddle with fonts. It turns out there was also a muddle with dates:
You were not slow. I am in the habit of arranging blog posts on a daily schedule, but fumbled the date and 19 became 9 so it appeared to be ancient when it was in fact early.
You must have seen it rather quickly, I'm flattered.
Actually what I saw quickly was the automatic email that I automatically got from Libertarian Home about the latest posting there. I clicked on it, read the Sermon, was impressed, shoved it up at Samizdata, then blogged about the process here. In among all that, I noticed that the posting was dated Feb 9th, and mentioned that I had been rather slow to notice it in the posting here, but not there. All this in the space of about an hour and a half.
The upshot of which is a posting that now declares itself to have arrived at Libertarian Home on Feb 19, but which has meanwhile already become the SQotD for Feb 18.
A while back, I wrote here, at the start of a posting about Manx Cats, this:
Inevitably, this blog, if it persists much longer, will become more and more concerned with the experience of getting old, ...
That posting was about the thing of "sort of" knowing stuff, as you get older. I "sort of" knew that Manx cats don't have tales. You vaguely remember having once known something. That kind of thing.
This posting now is also about that aging process. Because, when the above email arrived, I should have realised that something bizarre was happening over at LH with regard to dates. I mean, if this Rob Waller Sermon had really been up for the last ten days, how come I had missed it all that time, even though I regularly visit LH? And how come I was only now receiving an automatic email about it?
I never consciously thought it through, but my "sort of" thought process was that either LH was confused or I was, and I just assumed without thinking about it that the confusion must be mine, on account of me having now entered the years of frequent and soon perpetual confusion, about everything. You are now reading prose written by a man who has started to forget, while in the bath, whether he has stood up and washed his private parts yet, or not yet, and who has hence started to do this either twice or not at all. Simon Gibbs, on the other hand, is a smart young guy. He has a smart young wife and a smart young home. He has a paid job and a life. That he might have got his blog posting dates in a muddle just did not occur to me.
I spent all my blogging time today concocting this posting, which is very long (being a review of my past year) and has twelve of my photos in it (one from each month). Enjoy.
ls Happy Old Year right? As in: hope you had one. I rather think it might be, for today. Anyway, I hope you did.
I have categorised this under, among other things, "Friends", because if you are reading this today, or at all frankly, then you are.
Quite often I start a BrianMicklethwaitDotCom posting, but when I've nearly finished it, I realise that it will do as a Samizdata posting. This happened today, twice.
So instead, here is a link to a story, from April 2011, about Copenhagen's Sperm Bike. How did I miss this? Probably because the site is called Treehugger, and peddles stuff about the need to screw up Western Civilisation because of the weather getting too hot if we don't.
This is what the Sperm Bike looks like:
If you are wondering about how the steering works, I think this explains it.
This is a memo from me to me, and also an email to a friend, about another great photo op that I don't want to forget about until I've done it.
The friend wants us to meet up at this, which has excellent views of both the Gherkin and the Shard, from approximately as high up as they are. This is me saying yes I very much want to do this. I am always on the lookout for such lookouts, and further suggestions are always very welcome.
Located on the 38th & 39th floors of the Heron Tower, SUSHISAMBA delivers a unique blend of Japanese, Brazilian and Peruvian cuisine, culture, music and striking design to the City of London.
Yeah yeah, foreigners cooking and overcharging for it. I get it. But what can I see? What can I photograph?
Europe's two highest dining outdoor terraces flank the restaurant, offering unparalleled views of the City to the west and the Olympic Park to the east. Award-winning architects Cetra Ruddy designed the restaurant's 13,423-square-foot (1,247-square-meter) space, which has direct access via two scenic lifts from a dedicated entrance on Bishopsgate. The venue is open daily for lunch and dinner, offering outdoor dining, a bar and lounge, and premier event space.
Scenic lifts. Sounds terrific. Even better if you get stuck in the scenic lift for ten minutes (not for ten hours), two thirds of the way up.
SUSHISAMBA's menus offer an inventive culmination of three cuisines. Guests will be treated to Brazilian Churrasco and Moqueca, Peruvian Anticuchos and Seviches; and Japanese tempura and sushi.
With any luck, the lack of proper meet+2veg food, which does not taste like it was assembled in an explosives factory, will put enough people off going to this place to give me a reasonably free run of it, and plenty of photo ops. But that might be hoping for too much, and anyway, you only ever really find out what's what with a deal like this when you actually go there, which I most definitely intend to do.
A link to this posting will go to the friend. I find that this personal blog is good for writing emails to people. What I have found myself doing recently is writing the email as a blog posting, and then emailing them the mere link, introduced with a brief summary of it. That way you achieve email brevity and say what you really want to say about whatever it is, and you get more readers for what you have written, in this case a not quite so tiny trickle. (I've sent the link to this posting, about how I want a new sofa/bench, to all sorts of people.)
The merging of the public and the private, which is a big story of the century so far, and which I will definitely be writing about some more, in other blog postings but not this one.
Prominent opinionators don't need to alert the world to the fact that some opinion they said or wrote is being attended to, a bit more than the world might otherwise have assumed. It's rather like how heads of state don't have to dress up in fancy uniforms with lots of medals attached to prove how important they are. Everyone already knows. Lesser persons, whose upward social motions either happen through their own continuing social climbing efforts or do not happen at all, cannot afford to be so tasteful and fastidious.
The Samizdata posting that the Quotulator quotulates from, which says that, in the Quotulator's words, Obama is doing quite well at the things he cares about, was partly the result of something that my friend Alastair James said to me recently, to the effect that rather too many recent Samizdata postings consisted of someone saying something that everyone who reads and writes for or comments at Samizdata agrees with, and then lots of commenters saying: I agree. I agree.
That's one of things it says here. But don't go there. You'd be wasting your time. All that the bit of it that concerns the above says is: "You can achieve everything you want if you're unambitious enough."
I get really pissed off with links that say something, and you go there, and all it is is someone saying what you've just read already, with no elaboration or justification or illustration or explication or any other sort of ation, of the sort that all links used to take you to. I am sure Twitter has its uses, but I wish people wouldn't link to it in this annoyingly disappointing way.
This is a short posting, just to make a note of some links that I have acquired, to things about Emmanuel Todd. Microsoft is in the habit of shutting down my computer without warning, and I don't want to have to go hunting for them again.
Here is a review of a new book about America called America 3.0 (which I already have on order from Amazon), by James Bennet and Michael Lotus. This book includes some of Todd's ideas about family structure by way of explaining why the America of the near future will be particularly well suited to the free-wheeling individualism of the next few years of economic history.
In this review, T Greer says:
I was delighted to find that much of this analysis rests of the work of the French anthropologist Emmanuel Todd. I came across Mr. Todd's work a few months ago, and concluded immediately that he is the most under-rated "big idea" thinker in the field of world history.
Spot on.
Greer also makes use of this map, which first appeared in this New York Times article:
Slowly, very slowly, Emmanuel Todd is starting to be noticed in the English speaking world.
So I finally got around to finishing my review of Think Tank by Madsen Pirie, which is the story, so far, of the Adam Smith Institute.
Ripple: me quoting Madsen Pirie, here.
Another ripple: the ASI quoting me, here.
The ASI seems happy, despite the delay.
LATER: Madsen Pirie quoting me, here.

P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Inc.'s 40-plus restaurant chain, operating in 19 states, owes much of its success to founder Paul Fleming's unique idea of pairing oriental cuisine with American-style service. At the outset, when he opened the first of the restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona, Fleming broke with the traditional Chinese restaurant format. With his collaborator, chef Philip Chiang, he devised a comparatively limited menu that featured far fewer dishes than the menus of typical, full-service, Chinese restaurants. Incorporating an American steak house dining style and a formidable selection of wines and cheeses, P.F. Chang's offers such additional oriental restaurant anomalies as espresso and cappuccino. Although P.F. Chang's China Bistros are stylish in decor, displaying motifs from the Ming and T'ang Dynasties and hand-painted murals, the dishes are moderately priced, partly because one of Fleming's aims was to provide high quality but affordable Chinese food for "the masses."
Chicken Lo Mein
PF Chang's copycat Recipe
Serves 2
4 oz dry spaghetti
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon canola oil, divided
1 large chicken breast, cut into strips
salt & pepper
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
1 large celery stalk, thinly sliced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 cup broccoli florets
2 green onions, chopped
Cook spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain then set aside. Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, chicken broth, and red chili pepper flakes in a small bowl then set aside. Season chicken strips with salt & pepper then set aside. Heat an electric wok to 375 degrees, or a very large skillet over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil then add chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center. Remove to a plate and set aside.
Heat another teaspoon of oil in the wok then add carrots and celery. Cook until slightly tender. Add remaining teaspoon of oil then add mushrooms, broccoli, and green onion. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add cooked chicken and noodles back into the wok. Pour in sauce, then mix together well, and serve.

POTOSI EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, Complainant,
SCHOOL DISTRICT OF POTOSI, Respondent.
Case 30
No. 62361
Decision No. 30697-B
Ms. Joyce Bos, Executive Director, South West Education Association, 960 North Washington Street, P.O. Box 722, Platteville, Wisconsin 53818-0722, for the labor organization.
Ms. Eileen Brownlee, Kramer, Brownlee & Infield, LLC, Attorneys at Law, 1038 Lincoln Avenue, P.O. Box 87, Fennimore, Wisconsin 53809-0087, for the municipal employer
On May 7, 2003, the Potosi Education Association filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission by which it alleged that the Potosi School District had violated certain unspecified sections of 111.70, Wis. Stats., by its decision to reduce the hours of Pam Fritz in the 2001-2002 school year. On September 3, 2003, hearing in the matter was scheduled for October 23, 2003. On October 1, 2003, the District filed a Motion to Dismiss, claiming that the underlying dispute had never been submitted to the grievance procedure, and that the complaint was time-barred. On October 10, 2003, the Association filed a response, in which it acknowledged the matter had not been grieved. On October 14, 2003, I issued an Order to Clarify Complaint, in which I directed the Association to specify the sections of 111.70, Stats., which it claimed the District had violated, and the dates of the act(s) allegedly constituting said violation. The Association filed its response on October 17, 2003, clarifying
No. 30697-B
Page 2
Dec. No. 30697-B
that the predicate act was taken on May 20, 2002, and that the statutes alleged to have been violated were Secs. 111.70(3)(a) 5 and (3)(a)1, Wis. Stats. In a telephone call on October 20, 2003, Association representative Bos further clarified the complaint by amending paragraph (f) to reflect that Fritz's reduction in hours were for the 2002-2003 school year. Also on October 20, 2003, District representative Brownlee renewed her motion to dismiss the complaint. On the basis of the pleadings and supplemental submissions, I now issue the following
1. Potosi Education Association is a labor organization with offices in care of the South West Education Association, 960 North Washington St., Platteville, Wisconsin, 53818. At all times material, Joyce Bos has been an Executive Director of SWEA, and as such an authorized agent of the PEA.
2. The School District of Potosi is a municipal employer with offices at 128 Highway 61 North, Potosi, Wisconsin. At all times material, Atty. Eileen Brownlee has been the attorney of record for the district in this proceeding.
3. From 1999-2001, the parties maintained and enforced a collective bargaining agreement governing the wages, hours and conditions of employment of school district professionals employed by the District. As of the filing of the complaint herein, the collective bargaining agreement between the parties was in hiatus.
4. The 1999-2001 collective bargaining agreement between the parties contains Article XXII Layoff Clause, establishing the procedure the District is to follow when it determines to eliminate or reduce a teaching position.
5. The 1999-2001 collective bargaining agreement between the parties contains Article IX Grievance Procedure, which establishes the procedure by which a teacher, group of teachers, or the Association may complain about an alleged "violation, misinterpretation or inequitable application" of any of the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. The Article IX grievance procedure culminates in an appeal to the Board of Education, and does not include final and binding arbitration of disputes.
6. Pam Fritz and Terry Downs both taught seventh grade art during the 2001-2002 school year.
7. During the 2001-2002 school year, the District determined to eliminate a section of seventh grade art for the 2002-2003 school year.
Page 3
8. On or about May 20, 2002, the District reduced Pam Fritz from 60% to 50% FTE.
9. Neither Fritz nor the Association filed a grievance over the May 20, 2002 reduction in hours.
On the basis of the above and foregoing Findings of Fact, I reach the following
1. As the parties' 1999-2001 collective bargaining agreement had expired at the time this dispute arose, there can be no violation of Sec. 111.70(3)(a)5, Wis. Stats.
2. As the Association declined to file a grievance in the matter, I am without jurisdiction to hear a complaint alleging a violation of Sec. 111.70(3)(a)4, Wis. Stats.
3. There being no allegations of interference, restrain or coercion, the allegation of a violation of Sec. 111.70(3)(a)1, Wis. Stats., is purely a derivative complaint.
On the basis of the above and foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I hereby make and issue the following
The complaint in this matter is hereby dismissed in its entirety.
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 21st day of October, 2003.
Stuart Levitan, Examiner
Page 4
The Potosi Education Association has brought this complaint, alleging the Potosi School District committed prohibited practices in its decision to reduce the contractual workload of teacher Pam Fritz. The District has moved to dismiss on various procedural grounds. While certain facts are open to dispute (e.g., the exact nature of Fritz' employment status), the pleadings and supplemental submissions do establish sufficient facts for me to address, and endorse, the District's motion.
The most important of those facts is the one that establishes that, at the time the District reduced Fritz's hours in May 2002, the collective bargaining agreement between the parties had expired. It is well-settled that, when a collective bargaining agreement has expired, a party's "conduct could not violate an existing collective bargaining agreement." Lancaster School District, Dec. No. 29777-A(Shaw, 5/2000). See also, City of Eau Claire, Dec. No. 29364-C (WERC, 12/2002). Accordingly, I have dismissed the allegation of a violation of Sec.111.70(3)(a)5.
In the event the Association might seek to amend its complaint by alleging a violation of Sec. 111.70(3)(a)4, I address that as well, and again find the Association procedurally barred from proceeding. Here the fatal flaw is not the expiration of the agreement, but the Association's failure to utilize a salient feature of the agreement, namely the grievance procedure.
It is well-settled that the grievance procedure in an expired contract is part of the status quo during a contract hiatus. In School District No. 6, City Of Greenfield, Dec. No. 14026-B (WERC, 11/77), the Commission held that:
Unlike an arbitration provision, however, the grievance procedure comes within the rule that an employer must maintain the status quo of conditions contained in the expired agreement. Although utilization of the grievance procedure upon expiration of the agreement cannot culminate in final and binding arbitration, for the noted reasons peculiar to the wholly contractual nature of arbitration, the grievance procedure is the established channel for discussing employe dissatisfactions respecting the established terms and conditions of employment about which the employer mandatorily is required to bargain. The grievance procedure, upon expiration, becomes the vehicle for bargaining over employe dissatisfactions. (footnote omitted) After contract expiration, the grievance does not concern the employer's contractual obligations, but rather the
Page 5
employer's duty not to change established terms until it discharges its duty to bargain about those proposed changes, the grievance procedure itself is the established mechanism for resolving alleged departures from the terms and conditions. A contrary holding that the established mechanism for day-to-day dispute resolution evaporates on contract expiration, would exacerbate tensions in the employment relationship as the parties seek a successor agreement and, the Commission is persuaded, would gravely frustrate the overall legislative objective to secure labor peace.
Reviewing the policy considerations recited in Greenfield two decades later, the commission was persuaded that exhaustion of the status quo grievance procedure should be required as a pre-condition to assertion of jurisdiction over duty to bargain complaints which allege a violation of the status quo. In Racine Unified School District, Dec. No. 29203-B (WERC, 12/98), the commission stated clearly and unequivocally that "as to all complaints filed after the date of this decision, we will not assert jurisdiction over alleged violations of the status quo unless any applicable grievance procedure contained in the expired contract has been utilized and exhausted."
In the proceeding before me, the Association could complain that the District violated the terms of an expired collective bargaining agreement that is, that it refused to maintain the terms of the status quo. But as the Racine case holds, in order to pursue such a complaint as a prohibited practice, the Association must have first availed itself of the grievance procedure, if applicable. Here, there was and remains such a procedure, which the Association acknowledges it did not use.
While the Association may have thought, as its representative contended in her submission of October 10, 2003, that such a grievance would have been an empty exercise, it was a procedural predicate for proceeding on a prohibited practice complaint. Having failed to utilize and exhaust the applicable grievance procedure, the Association could not now seek to have the Commission assert jurisdiction over the alleged violation of the status quo.
Page 6
Having dismissed the complaint alleging a violation of sec. 111.70(3)(a)5, I turn now to the allegation concerning 111.70(3)(a)1. Because it is clear from the pleadings that this alleged violation is a derivative one, and does not pertain to any independent acts of interference, restraint or coercion, I have dismissed that count as well.

Suppose that $C$ is a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with no limits point. Then for every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ you can find rational numbers $p_x$ and $q_x$ such that $p_x<x<q_x$ and $(p_x,q_x)\cap C$ contains at most one point. (Why?)
