Cheribim taking aim.
== Excuuuuse me
== Union organizing has always been difficult (!) Coin, legal obligations. and a splash of Tender Ego – a heady brew. Let’s see if I have the outline: Recognized. Eighteen months. No contract. Layoff-day. Unsurprisingly it all goes rather badly. And, time rocks on.
== Halos - rusted and soiled, still litter the ground. A battered billboard over there, in shreds. What did it say? Oh, “Be the change …[?]”, nope, can’t make it out; the rest was taken by hot air and high winds. Some storm. Probably in the next county. Unrecognizable, what with time and weather.
== Sounds of soft laughter under a rickety shelter. That’s me. Gallows Humor and a Cup of Coffee, The usual; peering out at fickle skies.
== Now about that problem. And it is a problem. Unforced errors. Attacking swarms of Cherubim. Leader/Owner Guy guarded by enduring loyalty. Members only club.
==Union people. Expectations. The dank smell and bitter taste lingers. Gagged Guild survivors. Verbal attacks by swarms of Cherubim. Liberty / license.
== Then, not a g0dd@mn thing done to repair the rift. Ladies and gentlemen, if you cannot, will not, take care of your own, who in hell are you? In a pinch? At close quarters? Hello.
== But. You know how it is done. Not that hard. Compassion, Respect, Fair Play.
== So. Where is it? That Contract. Progress report - overdue. If failure to come to an agreement BEFORE layoff day remains our only clue – has continued silence cinched it? Did I miss seeing a crisp and well executed middle finger salute?
== Is there is a contract, negotiated, voted in and approved? I’ve not seen the boast. If the deed is done, my apologies for doubting. Bring it. I welcome spirited censure and well-earned contempt for my uppity demeanor and scant attention span - perhaps by a vigorous Swarm of Righteous Cherubs.
