The trouble with you, Jeffy, and every other right-winger on this board is that you clowns don't do a good job of thinking outside the box.
When I say I'm a union worker and have X amount of work to do in a shift, the first thing that likely comes to mind is factory work ... maybe an autoworker ... maybe tool and die ... maybe a steelworker. (And, yes, I still put in a 40-hour week, 48 weeks a year; I am not retired ...although I'd like to be.)
All kinds of unions out there: Airline pilots, prison guards, police officers, nurses, even some doctors, silk-screen printers, symphony musicians, Actors Equity, gas and electric workers, police dispatchers, elementary school teachers, secondary school teachers, university professors, university graduate assistants, on and on and on.
Perhaps the reason I don't do more than my assigned work per shift is because that's all I can do. For instance, if I'm a pilot for Delta, I fly the plane from City A to City B. That's it. I can't decide to fly the plane to City C because I feel industrious, can I? |
