Weighty Discussions

At work yesterday I had to go to the Toolroom and have some steel braces made for the chairs in the break area for negotiations. It seems the bottoms were breaking out of the chairs. (Please insert your own punchline here.). . .that's what I call heavy negotiations. I know it is bad but I couldn't help myself. Less than one month until our old agreement expires and this week we passed a strike authorization by 97%, so things could get interesting. I won't talk about the two tiered wage agreement, the erosion of the American working class, and the eventual downfall of western civilization (they're interrelated) but I won't. . .today.
