Union dues...
Mary and I talked about it and decided that the grocery store union was full of crap. We wish we even had health insurance much less a co-pay. We went ahead and crossed the line after spending our Tuesday (our weekly date day) at the beach. Turns out that in doing so we saved $66.00 dollars in groceries.
On top of that Albertson's ended up not only giving us free food but actually owing us money on some of the items. Don't believe us? Check it out.
In all seriousness though this strike is a prime example of the "rising expectations theory" in social revolution. Mary wrote a paper on it- if you are interested view it here.
