MIAMI, May 1 -- On the international labor day, May 1, American workers
spontaneously erupted in national demonstrations demanding that things
go back to where they used to be.
In cities around the nation, workers held signs reading: “Exploit Me
Bad!”, “Not Too Much Pay, If You Please”, and “Hold The Benefits, Pour
On The Work!”
“I had a perfectly bad, demeaning job that sucked the very soul out of
me,” said former NFL candy wrapper Obesia Washbuck, “and I want it back
so bad. I still remember dragging myself to the plant to wrap one
goddam candy ball after another while some slimy sub-manager
alternately yelled and fondled me. Those were the days.”
Washbuck said that she and her co-workers were paid, “just about enough
to use credit cards, but not enough to pay them off. It was great.”
Foundry worker Rance Flopper said that “there’s just too much change. I
want to stay in the same job long enough to drink, eat and smoke myself
to death -- not bounce around getting all anxietied.”
Employers, however, were not sympathetic. “Whatever money there is,”
said Alfred T. Churlish of the Chamber of Commerce, “we’re keeping it
all to ourselves.”
