People rarely realize how essential their street cleaners and municipal water employees are until a strike is threatened, in which case, god forbid anybody mention their affiliation with a union. I am reminded of this while reading this article. Very few people associate their evening news with the cameraman they never see, or the mic-wrangler ensuring crystal-clear sound on the television sets in their living rooms. I consider it a stroke of true genius that this walk-out was proposed on a weekend where history, ready to be made, rises like bread dough next to the oven of human memory. As a news-broadcast executive, what choice do you have, when forced to decide between a new contract for CBS3 and coverage of Pope Francis, a man held in highest veneration by over a BILLION people the world around? This article was truly interesting, as labor disputes tend to be, but made at least twice as engrossing y whatever comic made the walk-out scheduling decision.
