Scabs and The Family Sack
Two items from today's Washington Post:
* A newspaper ad from Safeway -- "Now accepting applications for temporary employees in preparation for a possible labor dispute":
Legal workers only. That's a relief.
Note that I have no knowledge of this particular labor dispute, so I make no judgments as to the nature of greedy, soulless corporations vs. greedy, corrupt unions -- I just hadn't seen an ad for strikebreakers/temporary workers before.
Also, note that I am not considering applying at this juncture, as I am currently consulting right now. For realz.
* An ad insert for the Frito-Lay Family Sack:
I can't be the only person to think that "family sack" invokes a completely meaning. (And I'm not.) Nards.

Wow, the only way Safeway could have made it worse is if they place a few of those electronic ATM-looking job kiosks right next to the striking workers.
I'd buy the family sack of chips but I would feel a little embarrassed hauling it around in my grocery cart.
