Blessed are the peacemakers
John, our union rep,
stands before us again,
like he has so many times before —
his last pep talk to the pre-lay-off workforce.
It was during this very talk
that John openly demonstrated his peacemaking gift
that he’s been subtly applying all along.
Thank you, John!

In 2006, when we were still doing major crossloads,
Pete filmed one such operation,
which he replays here,
a few days before the major lay-off.
He-man!!!
… and those made-in-America buttons still won’t pop.
It’s Jimmy, laughing in the hallway.
