A DAY AT WORKIn the morning I attended a meeting between management andunion representatives. We were anticipating a difficult bargaining but it was actually easy. The discussion was very comprehensive,covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Bothsides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. Thesecretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually, theydecided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially againstthe company policy not to accept workers that have already retired.I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment,and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn't want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangersin the office.After lunch I attended a lecture given by themayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and hasa graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raisefunds to improve college education and build a public library,and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumesthis is what the people expect from the government.Copyright 1996 - 2012 S&K Agradecemos as colaboracoes de Benjamin Harris, Linda Rayner, Marcos Capelini, Heitor Ferreira, Eduardo T.
