I arrived at work today to find that our building has been hit by the union rat. For you non-NYers, the union rat is a 20 ft. tall inflatable rat that unions erect outside of businesses that they want to embarrass. Usually this is because the businesses use non-union labor, pay low wages, etc… I’m not sure who they are targeting in our building. I tried to ask the doorman but he’s not the friendliest guy and he tends to mumble. I got the words “subcontracting,” “asbestos,” and “killed a woman” out of his explanation. Yikes. I hope this rat doesn’t stick around.
