Labor Advocates Gifts

Bureaucrats held up by the workers.

I was thinking about the implications of your brave effort last week to unionize. I didn't really. I was role-playing. Whatever. Do you realize the demise of unions has coincided with a massive decline in the middle class? What? I'm helping chickens cross a road on my iPhone. I'm taking about the income gap!

'Our union contract keeps us from cutting salaries, but nothing prevents us from charging for parking.'

"A wage increase to match inflation."

'Enough is enough. We're sick of being overworked and underpaid.'

'It is a big day! Ten years ago, yout dad joined the union!'

"Instead of raising the minimum wage, we should lower it to $4.00 an hour and create more jobs. Plus, low wages would encourage car pooling."

"Ha! Today we informed the boss about our rights!"

"Look - we'll whistle when it's fifteen dollars an hour."

When collective bargaining is outlawed!: 'To work here, you have to wear this metal collar!'

"Then I told him, 'Unions are powerless in this country... What can you do to me?'"

Nothing to Lose

"The union is objecting to our 'grotesquely inflated' wages, do you think they'd settle for 'outrageously inflated' instead?"

"Don't tell the employees, but management has acquired their union."

"Don't worry - if we double the minimum wage it will still be nothing."

'In this pyramid we are unionized. We don't accept more than 50 lashes per day.'

Pennybags Monster

The Trans Pacific Partnership! Negotiated in Secret! No input from labor, consumer, or environmental organizations...

'The problem is, you don't take enough pride in your temporary, no benefit, below living wage job!'

The Verdict Is Union Yes!

"But it will never get better if you picket"

'Well, if you consider normal corporate surveillance, interrogation, and harassment 'union-busting,', nothing I have to say will change your mind.'

"As a show of our commitment to your right to work, we're happy to offer you a contract that meets all your demands."
