Geepers!
See how hard Congress works for us?
Sacrificing their holiday for us.
What a swell bunch of guys and gals!
/sarcasm off
I once worked at a company where the craft people were all hard core, militant union members.
They had a work ethic just like Congress.
They basically accomplished nothing significant during the regular work week, allowing work to go undone until they were right up against a deadline. They were masters at work avoidance and fabricating roadblocks: equipment would mysteriously go astray or get damaged, tools would be lost or get broken, elevators would get locked up between floors, etc., etc.
Then they would make a big production of having to “sacrifice” by working overtime, weekends and holidays to do the work that should have been completed weeks and months ago.
Just like Congress.
” Just like Congress. “
Except in one somewhat important detail - when the Union Workers finally do produce some output, however reluctantly or fraudulently, it’s needed and useful.....
