United Food and Commercial Workers? I guess that way we could include more than
just the hardhatted fellows. (Although, to be fair, the guys in current City
Center sets look awful happy--too happy, in fact. They *must* be union, because
those guys get some serious bennies! I wonder if Prozac would be a benefit...)
Don't forget, we'll need lots of 2x2 red flags and 4x4 red flags on 5.5L
poles...well, that's if we're going with the whole Karl Marx "classic worker
protest" model, which is more interesting than the one played out today (but
then again I'm a historian, you'd expect me to say that).

That's true, I think construction workers would be about the only ones able to
knock one of those babies over.
Maybe we need to add a few College Students to stir the mix a la 1848--use about
a dozen Timmies, and give them the enormous brown Adventurers backpacks filled
with 1x2 brown tiles to simulate books (or 1x1 chrome cylinder bricks with beer
label decals?). Include a bunch of 1x8 plates for the University of Timmy
studentia to build small barricades with...oh, yeah, and about a hundred
trans-orange flames to simulate destruction of the Evil Railroad Monopoly's
helpless hopper car (or perhaps the destruction of a helpless living room sofa,
if they're like Michigan State students). ;)
