He Called In Sick..............

Negotiations between union members and their employer were
at an impasse. The union denied that their workers were
flagrantly abusing their contract's sick-leave provisions.

One morning at the bargaining table, the company's chief
negotiator held aloft the morning edition of the newspaper,
"This man," he announced, "Called in Sick yesterday!"

There on the sports page, was a photo of the supposedly ill
employee, who had just won a local golf tournament with an
excellent score.

The silence in the room was broken by a union negotiator.

"Wow," he said. "Think of what kind of score he could have
had if he hadn't been sick!"
