DAY AT WORK
In the morning I attended a meeting between management and union representatives. The discussion was very comprehensive, covering topics like working hours, days off, retirement age, etc. Both sides were interested in an agreement and ready to compromise. The secretary recorded everything in the notes. Eventually, they decided to set a new meeting to sign the final draft of the agreement.Back at the office, a colleague of mine asked me if I had realized that the proposed agreement would be partially against the company policy not to accept workers that have already retired. I pretended to be really busy and late for an appointment, and left for the cafeteria. Actually, I didn't want to discuss the matter at that particular moment because there were some strangers in the office. After lunch I attended a lecture given by the mayor, who is an expert in tax legislation and has a graduate degree in political science. He said his government intends to assist welfare programs and senior citizens, raise funds to improve college education and build a public library, and establish tougher limits on vehicle emissions because he assumes this is what the people expect from the government.

Dia de trabalho

Pela manhã eu tive um encontro entre gerentes e representantes da união.A discussão foi muito compreensiva, cobrindo tópicos como horas de trabalho, dias de folga, idade para aposentadoria, etc.Ambos os lados estavam interessados em uma concordância e prontos para fechar o acordo.A secretária gravou tudo em notas. Eles decidiram fazer um novo encontro para sinalizar o acordo final.De volta ao trabalho, uma colega minha perguntou para mim se eu gostaria de ser contra a empresa policial não aceitar trabalhadores já aposentados.Realmente, eu não queria discutir o problema em um momento particular porque já tinham muitos estrangeiros no trabalho.Depois do almoço eu atendi um que era especializado em legislação e tinha graduação em Ciência Política.Ele falou que seu governo pretende apoiar programas de assistência social, levantar fundos para promover a educação universitária e construir uma biblioteca e estabilizar os limites da emissão de gás poluente dos veículos porque é isso que as pessoas esperam do governo.
