Here’s the story of someone who accidentally started a union.

In answer to the question, “Machiavellian things you’ve seen or done at work?”

Cc @jwehrle

Wasn't me but a guy I knew. He was a fan of certain
"mind altering vegetation," as was his coworker. He agreed to sell some to his coworker and soon became "the guy" at the auto repair place. One of the managers noticed him always having quick little chats with his coworkers and ran in the complete wrong direction with it and thought my friend was trying to organize a union and he (the manager) was going to stop that.
So my friend was terrified he was going to get fired until he realized that retaliating against him for selling pot was totally legal but retaliating against him for pro-union activity wasn't. And so, to protect himself from being fired for being mistaken as a union organizer, he organized a union.

Shoot. I forgot I had this account! I've been on my @CptSuperlative account exclusively for awhile now. Argh. I shut down one other one and thought I'd cleaned up. Well, looks like I have more cleanup tomorrow.

@nazgul @jwehrle whatever the reason, it’s a good thing.
