Going the Full Stretch for Market Basket

If I hadn’t watch it happen I never would have believed it. American worker’s doing what they think is right, damned the cost to themselves. Radio Shack and the breakup artist ordered the workers back to work again or else. And nobody flinched. First time didn’t work. Second try was a job fair and in spite of my low opinion of my fellow Americans, no one showed up to apply to work at Market Basket. Good for you guys. Third was the show up or else ultimatum. Now what?

Artie T. has been trying to screw his cousin over all of their lives. I wonder if Arthur S., son of George finally gave the ultimatum to Artie T., son of Telemachus “One more time and I burn down the house!” Being the successful business man that he is I imagine that Artie T just let that roll off his back. I mean why would Artie S give up his cushy lifestyle? Artie T does all the work. Right? Easy. Principal. Artie S may be living off his company dividends and enjoying life while Artie T sweats and plans and executes to grow the family business, but that’s the way it would be for any publicly owned corporation.

About Art

55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
