If we get this right today, not only will it be our floor but it will be every other floor in RegalView and beyond. A twenty-minute work stoppage during prime calling time. I'll give the call. Sal, what's the call? Fuck you, pay me. The other... other one. Phones down. Okay? We hang up the phones. Put down our headsets. Now, they're gonna single some of us out. - Threaten our jobs. - Fuck that. - Yes, fuck that. - Fuck that. - Fuck that. - Yeah, fuck. We ride for anyone they try to fire. We fight because we make the profits and they don't share. If we're gonna give them our day, we need to have enough to cover our basic necessities. - Human decency. - Yeah.
