Vocabulary 59 - B2

Herbert slumped onto the sofa after a long day at Oakhaven Industries. "Margot," he groaned, "this workload is increasingly unbearable!"

Margot, folding laundry, replied calmly, "Well, you did volunteer to be the safety inspector. It’s your job to insist on safe working conditions, Herbert."

"Easier said than done," Herbert sighed. "Old Man Fitzwilliam is talking about a budget reduction. He says safety training is 'unnecessary overhead'."

Brian walked in, juggling a skateboard. "Did someone say 'reduction'? Is that like, a discount on snacks?"

Herbert perked up slightly. "If only, Brian. If only." He then remembered his union meeting. "Oh blast, I have that union session tonight, and Johnson is going to want all the details about Fitzwilliam's cost-cutting plans."

Margot frowned. "You’re supposed to be supporting the workers, Herbert, not finding excuses to eat donuts!"

"Donuts?" Brian asked, his ears twitching. "Are we talking about donuts?"

Herbert ignored Brian. "I swear, being a safety inspector is like being a master juggler, always trying to balance safety, profit, and employee satisfaction. And hunger."

Margot shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips. "Just try to do your best, Herbert. And maybe lay off the donuts before the meeting."

Later that evening, at 'The Dog & Duck' pub, Herbert met with union representative Johnson.

"So, Fitzwilliam is pushing for a budget reduction?" Johnson asked, nursing a pint.

Herbert nodded glumly. "Says safety training is a waste of money."

"We can't let that happen," Johnson insisted. "We need to fight for the safety of our workers."

Herbert sighed. "I know, I know. It's just… I'm not sure how to proceed. I feel like I need a master plan."

"Well, think about it," Johnson said. "And remember, our next session is next week."

Herbert nodded, staring into his beer. He knew this was going to be a tough battle.
