Union Activists Mugs

Week three, things started to get ugly.

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

"No, no - it was great. It's just that sometime I'd like to try it missionary style."

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

"We need a 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!

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

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

"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!'

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

'I told you we should have unionized.'

Unity is strength! Vote for local 62 today!

'Boss, there's union guys out there organizing the robots.'

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

'This is just the first step -- next, I invent the Teamsters' Union!'

Union organizer in a hostile workplace. . .
