what are they here for

Somehow suddenly I feel more confident than I have in years that we will see a resurgence of the kind of class struggle we saw back in the 60’s.I think it came from something that my partner Liz said the other day.She said that that one of the nurses who works on her floor in Saint Mary’s Hospital had asked for time off cause her brother had been killed in an accident.But the hospital administrator,one of the Charest government new appointees,bluntly refused her request.When the nurse asked for some sympathetic support and understanding the administrator said ”I’m not here for that”
How often are workers all over this country hearing a variation of the same words from other administrators
“I’m not here for that”
Now that nurse,by no means a militant,is asking herself
“Then what are they here for?”
