Joke Of The Day
Negotiations between union members and their employer were at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were flagrantly abusing their contract’s sick-leave provisions.
One morning at the bargaining table, the company’s chief negotiator held the morning edition of the newspaper aloft, “This man,” he announced, “called in sick yesterday!”
There on the sports page was a photo of the supposedly ill employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an excellent score.
A union negotiator broke the silence in the room. “Wow,” he said. “Just think of what kind of score he could have had if he hadn’t been sick!”
