[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 446518, member: 12570"] I disagree. Her point, as I understood it, is that the joke portrayed the union employees in an unfavorable way. The last 2 lines said it best: [I][B]The Union Meeting[/B] A union shop steward was addressing the workers at a union meeting ... "I am pleased to advise all of you that we have agreed on a new deal with the management. We will no longer work four days a week." "Hooray!" the crowd yelled. "We will finish work at 4 PM, not 5 PM." "Hooray!" the crowd yelled again. We will start work at 10 AM, not 9 AM." "Hooray!" "We have a 110% pay increase." "Hooray!" "We will only work on Tuesdays." Suddenly, the crowd fell silent, until a voice from the back asked, "Every Tuesday?"[/I] [/QUOTE]
