Frank: When did this brewery experience occur? Years ago? Did such things happen? Of course. I've heard similar stories. However, we've come a long way since then ... so far, in fact, that Ford Motor Co. even buys air time on TV for commercials to tell the American public how good their union work force is. I've worked full-throttle all my life. No one has ever told me to slow down. If they had, I would have told them to speed up. If my company doesn't make a decent profit, I'm out of a job. I know that. Every union worker in America knows that. You'd be surprised how many labor-management problems could be solved by management working WITH labor rather than against them. In other words, every company deserves the union it has. (Keep up the good work with your company; respect your employees and they'll respect you. Cut your workers a little slack from time to time in difficult situations or emergencies, and they'll repay you one-hundred-fold.)

It is very important to clean the vats very slowly and carefully. It is easy enough to clean five vats a day for a few days, but eventually it's just one damned vat after another. Live and let live, I say. I say your friend was very lucky to get a job where management let the union decide how much work to do. In a well-managed brewery the vatcleaners would have worked at 5/day and the brewery wouldn't have needed to hire him, now would they?
