Man 1: Good news- our newly revitalized national union raised $2 million to elect democrats! Man 2: Great! Now we can kill NAFTA! Then we can strike globally against hiring scab labor!

Well, our strategy is to organize replacement workers and join forces with them. Man 2: Brilliant- that way we'll all get big raises! Man 1: Um, not really.
