I had some serious grievances about the awful working conditions at IRM and the way management was mistreating me, so between tricks, I went to the local rep for my particular museum craft union, the Brotherhood of United Misrepair Specialists, to complain.
He was very friendly and helpful, but after listening to my maudlin tales of woe, he said that this was too serious for him to address, so he referred me to the Vice President of the Brotherhood. When I went to the VP's office, however, the reception was not quite what I expected:
I went ahead and made my complaints, however. I was afraid this might make him lose his head.
Which in fact happened, but after some discussion we both came to an agreement and were a lot happier. That's why you want to have an expert handling your labor relations. So I have decided to keep working and not go on strike. Whew!
(Note: This was posted a day early, due to a schedule conflict with an important religious holiday. After all, we wouldn't want to create Mass confusion.)
