[Panel 1]
[Nils]
Did you see the union is
trying to get members again?
[Ginny]
Oh, ah?
[Nils]
One of them buttonholed me as
I was coming back from lunch.
Free ten minute backrub and
a prize draw for a digital
camera if I joined today.
[Panel 2]
[Ginny]
Well, I suppose it's more use
than the "stress counsellors"
they were offering last time.
[Nils]
And maybe if I joined
they'd tell me when they
were going on strike.
[Ginny]
I'd hope so, really.
[Nils]
Last time I accidentally crossed
a picket line when it had
wandered off for a smoke break.
[Panel 3]
[Jaakko]
I thought that unions were
supposed to fight for you when
the bosses mess you about?
[Ginny]
Some of them may. Not round here
though. They like their big lunches
too much to rock the boat.
[Nils]
So today I just told 'em I
was a contractor and they
fled as if I had plague.
[Panel 4]
[Jaakko]
It could be worse. In Finland
the first temperance movements
came out of the unions.
[Nils]
But falling into a drill
press while off your head on
cheap vodka is the inalienable
right of the working man!
