Labor Stories

Clarissa

April 30

At the gas station, an older gentleman came up to me.

"You are very pretty," he said. "Pretty lady. You work for the university. Back in the sixties, when your university was being built, I was union labor. The university hired non-union, so we went and blew up all the pipes, everything. Now it's all union on your campus. Never discount union labor."

I was so touched, I almost cried. I didn't mention that the current very progressive administration is abusing labor under the slogans of anti-racism. In one of the meetings, when a smug administrator in $600 shoes was bleating about his dedication to "anti-racist work", the many black union members got up and chanted, "Are we black enough for you? Eleven months without a contract. Shame, shame!" They were accused of being racist, which is a tad confusing given that they were as black as the smug administrator.
