To Our Brothers in the Piedrivers’ Local 114

Lead Pipe Cruelty

Loyal reader #0017 (EDog) notes that pizza delivery drivers in Detroit are trying to start a national union of pizza drivers, arguing “the large chains have been taking advantage of them for years.”

Well, yeah. That’s why a union won’t fly. It’s also why there’s no union in the music industry or the temp agency world. Any job that requires marginal skills and draws on a mobile or unstable workforce can never unionize: there are literally hundreds of people who would gladly kill you for your shitty job.

But still, good luck guys. If you succeed, and my pizza is late, am I gonna have to file a grievance?
