Austin has moved to Stage 4 of their Risk-Based Guidelines (https://www.austintexas.gov/covid19). With that, the board has voted to make some changes to expand access for members. Here’s what changed:
Hours of Availability
5 AM – 2 AM (closed for 3 hours in the wee morning time)
Woodshop Slots
There is now a 4th woodshop slot
Weekly Allotted Hours
Members may now book up to 16 hours per week
Shop Stewards may now book up to 22 hours per week
Reminder: Hour count resets on Monday
Skedda has been updated to reflect these changes, so as usual if you can book it in Skedda it’s a valid time to be at the space.
It was a little weird the way I had to configure the hours and can be slightly confusing since most commonly people will be booking something like 10pm Thurs - 2am Fri. It looks like in Skedda you have to actually book those as two separate bookings (they only let you book hours for one day at a time). Hopefully it’s not too confusing!
Most definitely! We’re working on getting a bit more definition to the role, but for now being a shop steward mostly means you spend a few hours every week doing something at the shop that makes it better for everyone. We’ve got you marked down as a steward @Mollie
