non union worker, glad to be productive

non union worker, glad to be productive

fiction
edward w pritchard

Every day I pack sixty thousand plastic forks into boxes. It's a quota here at the factory. All workers must pack accurately 60,000 forks or more each shift.

I don't worry about my quota. I just make sure that everyone who reaches for a plastic fork made by our company gets a perfect four pronged fork at least if it's from a box I packed. I take pride in my work.

I am one of the little people who keep the wheels of commerce turning here in Ohio where I live. I pack the forks and God looks out for the rest in my life.
