Yeah, we don't have unions here, but at the same time, the entire company has... 1 boss, 3 employees.

[SalmonGod]

We don't have unions here, either, but that's because it's official company policy to fire anyone who appears to be organizing any form of solidarity or even just spreading a sense of indignation.  Warning us of this is part of the hiring process.  They insist we don't need it anyway, because we're officially recognized by the Fortune 500 as one of the best places to work.

So the place that kicks out anyone who is irritated with something is one of the best places to work how?

I've been trying to figure that out for a long time... but not too loudly.

I have once again rediscovered the joy of Dwarf Fortress via community forts, Homestuck and lame illustrations.

Anyone play DCU online? It's free now and I'm downloading it.

They fire all the dissenters. All that's left is the sycophants.

They've tried to get me on a salary with the offer of more money. As you've all said it just means longer hours for the same or less pay. My managers complain about this regularly.

Despite me not being completely happy with my union I'm glad we have them here.

Get on my horse, I'll take you around the universe, and all the other places too!

Can't get this song out of my head

[The Merchant Of Menace]

* The Merchant Of Menace has 4 Dirham (current circulation), 1 Virginia quarter, 1 normal quarter, 1 Philippines 5 sentimo (current circulation), 1 Canadian penny (1876 circulation), 1 ROI 5 pence piece, 1 English 5 pence piece (pre 1991 circulation) and 1 Złoty

I also has a ton of other quarters with different states on them, but I don't know where they are.

Random coinage makes me happeh.

Man, all I got is a 1985 50 paisa coin.

The different metals all make an awesome jingling noise when I jingle them.

Not sure that's entirely legal.


The NLRB has the authority to investigate and remedy unfair labor practices, which are defined in Section 8 of the Act. In broad terms, the NLRA makes it unlawful for an employer to:

    * interfere with two or more employees acting in concert to protect rights provided for in the Act, whether or not a union exists
    * to dominate or interfere with the formation or administration of a labor organization
    * to discriminate against employees for engaging in concerted or union activities or refraining from them
    * to discriminate against an employee for filing charges with the NLRB or taking part in any NLRB proceedings
    * to refuse to bargain with the union that is the lawful representative of its employees


That said, don't let it bother you and just do what you can to keep your job.

[ToonyMan]

Yes, yes he is.

Oh no, not Cobra!  Wait, who the Hell is Cobra?


Y'know what's awesome?  Having a gallon jug of chocolate milk in the refrigerator, that's what's awesome.  Adults aren't supposed to be able to own that.  Gallon jugs of chocolate milk shouldn't even exist, kids aren't allowed to buy them and anyone over 10 isn't supposed to buy them.
