Government

So i was unclear and desperately wanting to win this game i needed to know the rules so i went to the government.

the union people have been a disappointment
they are like managers of any large corporation
more concerned with their perks and personal agendas
than actually creating

and though i asked often and loud for the pertinent rules
the answers were vague and contradictory

so skipping the messenger i went to the labour board to fins out the rules for this particular game. I phoned and made an appointment for 9 am, but on the day of the meeting i slept in due to too much drink the night before...

i showed up at 1 and though my tardiness was noted i was welcomed into the office of Lillian Helton with much hospitality...she had made copies of the act and walked me through the relevant sections.

by the end of the meeting i was well acquainted with:

appropriate bargaining units
eligible and ineligible employees
and all the significant numbers

I thanked her for her kindness and knowledge. i was surprised by her kindness and knowledge. I was surprised by her professionalism and objectivity...maybe the government is my friend..maybe not but after our meeting i was able to formulate a simple plan; now all i needed to do was bring the union onside and execute...
