Wage Negotiation Wiz Mugs

So you won't unionize unless I agree beforehand to give you a raise? Fair's fair. I'll let you play out your fantasy of being a union buster during a period in which the American public has turned against organized labor. You can humiliate me by refusing my demands and publicly haranguing me.

"I'd like a raise, I can't afford to binge drink on what you pay me."

'You're asking for money? Now you're really pushing it.'

Tired of long hours and lousy pay, Bob begins a work-to-rule campaign.

'Guess who's hinting for a raise?'

"You look perfectly suited for managing on the pigeons have a salary that goes with the job!"

'No sir, I said could I have an increase in SALARY.'

'The position sounds interesting, but my last job paid more coconuts.'

Thank You for Not Bringing Up My Salary

"A delightful arrangement Miss Chalmers..."

'How about a small rise?' - 'No, but how about a large reference?.'

'When it comes to giving a bonus...some people will stop at nothing.'

'Actually, Carruthers, if you take the world average income, you're grossly overpaid.'
