Sounds like some of the stories I have heard out of the unionized northeast about having to wait for union movers to rack servers and union electricians to plug up the power cables.  Inefficiency at the peak of unproductiveness..:)

--Union rules forced Hostess to run separate truck fleets for delivering bread vs. sweets. A sweets driver, serving a 7-11 store, was forbidden from restocking shelves with breads already delivered and waiting in the back—he had to call for a bread driver to swing by and handle.

That's pretty bone-headed. Maybe the sweets guys were immune to the smell of cinnamon but allergic to gluten :-)
