    Damn it, what am I supposed to do with this pitchfork now?

      If you watch the video, one of the union members is at the Council meeting speaking to the City Council and another union member walks up to him to inform him that they were laid off with immediate effect. The workers both seemed genuinely surprised that they were laid off.

      Don’t be fooled by layers of bureaucracy.

      As along as it lands in the soft belly of those in the owner class or their supporters, it has served it purpose.
