Labor big a real heavy sleeper

Labor big a real heavy sleeper. “He eats lunch when he arrives at work at 2 p.m. Then, like clockwork, he goes to sleep with a cup of soda on the table and the straw in it,” said Marvin Robbins, a union vice president. “Then he wakes up, looks at his watch and says, ‘I have to get out before the traffic gets bad.’ He’s usually out by 4 p.m. after being at the office two hours.” Well, as long as that soda is less than 16oz, everything’s cool.

  • Did anybody factor in the charges for the forklift to get him in the doors?

    • Funny, did you and Elrond catch this fta

      "He last made embarrassing headlines in 2009, when he inspired a City Council bill requiring jumbo-size ambulances for morbidly obese patients after he had a stroke at City Hall."

      What a way to be remembered in the history books.

  • Marvin looks like a heart attack waiting to happen. Wouldn't want to be a pall bearer at his funeral, they'll probably have to bury him in a piano box.

  • Union members are forking over $1,000 plus per year while their unions waste it. Is this news to anyone with a few brain cells?

  • "He said it’s normal for executives to take “power naps.” That's why farm animals sleep after they eat. Another union piece of shit and he makes over $150,000 a year? Damn this could be a job for Crowley, two hour naps, free food and pay!

    • Wait! I want that job! Seriously! But I demand a futon in my office. I might fall out of my killer chair.
