Labor Rights Mugs

'Will work for union scale.'

'Just some ancient artifacts.'

The relationship between you and your employer is not one of equals....Being in a union fixes the imbalance!

Balance

"It's not a bad place to work, aside from the totally oppressive confidentiality agreement they make us sign."

"You were 3 minutes late for work today, Jennings. Bruno here, my office manager, doesn't like it when employees are late for work."

"....and don't forget to ask for more overtime."

"Sir, the robots have gained sentience and are demanding better working conditions."

'I don't necessarily agree with the pilots' strike, but you gotta love their picket line.'

'I've just been laid off. Is it too late to sign that union card you were telling me about?'

'We Want Our Jobs Back'

Week three, things started to get ugly.

'I wanted to go to today's anti-union rally but couldn't get the time off from work. I don't have any sick days. . .'

'How come when the workers form a union, it's collective bargaining, but if we do it, it's a cartel?'

'I see a labor union dispute coming.'

'Job Killer!'

'Now what? -- The Pharaoh says he's never heard of collective bargaining.'

BEWARE OF THE DOG!; 'So much for management's pledge to bargain in good faith.'

"It says: 'In honor of Labour Day. I want time off and a raise in my power supply.'"

Labor Day 2011

'When I used to harass non-union workers, they would just quit! Now, with the union, they file a grievance!'

'Not a problem. On what they pay us, I can't afford lunch.'

"Why do you always get the biggest sign?"

"No, he hasn't had a heart attack - I told him I'd joined a union."

Transcendental Mediation

'Are those magic beans?'

Crew due Salary Review, Ballot, Quibble and Snub

"I'm sorry, you couldn't have asked at a worse time for wage rise,"

"A worker is a human being? Why wasn't I informed of this??"

"I'm on a zero hours contract."

"I remember we used to talk in the staff room about Unions, and what the point of membership was..."

Right to work legislation strangles the unions.

'As I've been told by my union, I went out on strike and I will succeed - I'm a one-man company!'

"This isn't going to help our low wage trap a bit."

'No benefits, no time and a half. It's like we're slaves or something.'
