Picket Line (TSWYW - Kitchen Sink)

UNION LEADER:
Oi mate, come and join the picket line!

WORKER:
I will do; but I just need to pop inside for a moment!

UNION LEADER:
Scab! Scab! Scab!

WORKER:
Look, I'm not going in to work; I'm just going to get me front door keys.

UNION LEADER:
Your front door keys!?

WORKER:
Yeah, I left 'em in me locker by mistake. Had to spend last night in me car!

UNION LEADER:
Well, why didn't you enter your back door instead?

WORKER:
Haven't got one! Oh, come on; please - I'm desperate!

UNION LEADER:
Look mate, this really isn't my concern.

WORKER:
But I thought you cared about your members' wellbeing?

UNION LEADER:
I do. I care about their wellbeing IN the workplace.

WORKER:
But this DOES affect my wellbeing IN the workplace!

UNION LEADER:
Oh. Well, in that case - go ahead!

WORKER:
Ta.

UNION LEADER:
Hey, how long do you think you'll be?

WORKER:
Ooh I don't know, probably about... eight hours!
