Wildcat Strike
Today is Victims of Communism Day, the day we remember the millions of millions of people who died at the hands of Goddless commies, their gulags and their collectivization schemes around the world.
It was chosen because it's also MayDay, the day communists agitate the dull witted to put them in charge, and today the mountebanks were having another go at it. Yes today was a strike of essential workers to lobby for better working conditions....the sort of working conditions one might have if one did not have half of ones co-workers dumping the load upon one.
This will not go well for those who left us to die under a tsunami of boxes.
One: we did not die, and this has left us in an unforgiving mood.
Two: UPS actually HAS a union. One which has a binding contract and one that takes a dim view of wildcat strikes.
I don't know any numbers, or how much participation in this slacker meme there was nationally, but it was an absolute nightmare of endless cardboard that made Christmas look almost pleasant.
Nevertheless we got the food and supplies people have ordered and the medical supplies going to the hospitals and those damned Nordic Tracs and Gaming Chairs too...and we got them all out, albeit a bit later than normal, most everything scheduled to be delivered today will be.
If, in the course of your very limited quarantine travels today, you spy a UPS driver, please thank them for coming to work. They are having a really bad day but THEY are doing their job. Me? I don't have to be back to work for....15 more hours. I should try to pass this stone or bathe or eat or something.

"I should try to pass this stone"
That does, indeed, seem prudent. I've heard enough horror stories to know it's not fun.
