The Chutzpah of the Working Class

I was going through a pile of papers at a coffee shop yesterday when I found the business section for The Seattle Times for Saturday, February 28, 2004. There was an article on Martha Stewart’s securities fraud trial, another about the government going after the $4.7 million dollar home and $50 million in assets of the former CEO of Enron, Jeffrey Skilling. Yet another story concerned the NYSE trying to get back the $120 million dollar salary it paid its former chairman, Richard Grasso. At the bottom of the page was a little something about 70,000 California grocery workers striking to keep their health benefits and their outrageous hourly wages of UP TO $15 FUCKING DOLLARS!! Can you believe the nerve of those damn grocery workers?

I have a train to catch so let me ruminate on the audacity of these uppity grocery store clerks.
