Labor Union Activist Mugs

The Signwriter's Strike Enters It's 2nd Week

Strike Action and Strike Reaction

"That's it lads, 364 days annual leave...what would we have done without our union!"

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! Talkin' 'Bout the Income Gap is sponsored by: The makers of signs, placards, and other protest equipment.

'You can't fire me! -- This is a right-to-work state!'

It's a dogs life

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

"A wage increase to match inflation."

National Living Wage from April 1st.

Sick

'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."

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

Bureaucrats held up by the workers.

Labor Day '19

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

Worker Rights and the Smoking Ban

'Drop dead. Well that's good start to our negotiations.'

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

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

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

'I told you we should have unionized.'

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

Progressive Democrats Like Elizabeth Warren Want a Higher Minimum Wage That Is Way Too Low

"We're striking for minimum levels of service."

NDAs for non VIPs

'Employee benefits? Sure, here you are!'

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

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

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