    Seems like the wrong time ... both of the season and economy ... to go on strike

    this is the BEST TIME 2 STRIKE! we have somthing to bargin with. if acme had it's way they would stall until january the least busiest time of the year and we would be forced to sign an unfair contract. acme has no one to blame but itself it's greedy and is corrupt.
