How to protest your way out of a job.

June 11, 2009

Coke employees are on strike because they want a contract with more job security.

They are giving supporters who donate $1 a can of Pepsi and encouraging others to drink Pepsi as a show of support.

I knew that unions are often myopic but this is just stupid.

Let’s try a bit of simple “if … then” logic.

If everyone drinks Pepsi, then Coke will need fewer (or no) employees.

Brilliant.

(Damn.  Gormley beat me to this but I did say it before him.  I have witnesses!)
