Union meeting

A union meeting is considered code word among railroad workers for sitting around the hotel having a drinking session. It sounds official so the supervisors will have no clue what is taking place, thus to remain under the radar. This usually takes place in the hotel lobby where a bunch of guys get drunk and bitch about the railroad.

On the radio passing by: Guys, we will be having a union meeting tonight at 21:00 to discuss important information about the new contract.

In front of a supervisor: Randy had a union meeting without me at the hotel. I’ll have to follow up with him to get the summary.

One on one: Are you prepared for the union meeting when we make it hotel?
