WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS TO THE TV SHOW "THE WIRE" SEASON TWO. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THIS SHOW, OR AREN'T UP TO THIS POINT, JUST KNOW THAT THIS POST IS JUST A FUNNY TELLING OF THE STORY OF REY, AND MOVE ON.
The following is sort of story-book version of "Rey's Tale" using screen captures from the TV show, "The Wire" from season two. I used those images mostly because it deals with a Union, and I had been thinking of posting something like this for fun for a while, and now I have a good reason to post it.
A few of these images are Not Safe For Work (images of actors pretending to be dead bodies). I will link said photos, and tag them as such.
Here is the Burg:
It's a bustling industrial city, full of factories populated by non-unionized workers.
This is Rey, a concerned worker in a local factory:
Rey has been working at the factory with his friends for some time now.
One day, Rey was reading through a newspaper, when he saw an article about a Union that was created at a neighboring factory. This gave him an idea.
Enter this fuck-monger.
This was the Boss of the factory. He had read the same news article, and unlike Rey, had a mostly negative reaction to the subject of the Union.
He then received a report about whispers of a Union forming in his own factory. Unwilling to let such a thing occur, he called a public meeting, where he let everyone know what he would do to anyone trying to form a Union:

Rey was unphased:
So the Boss did the only thing he could think of to stop all Union activity. He hired Union Breakers:
Their job was to root out any threats that might lead to a Union being formed. They swiftly joined the ranks of the Burg, and made short work of their first victim:

Rey was phased:
Rey suddenly realized what the stakes of the game were. He could not back down. He could never surrender. He had to root out the people responsible for what happened to his co-worker. He vowed to do everything in his power to Unionize this factory.
The Boss had different plans. He and his goons recognized the danger of Rey. They didn't wish to make him a martyr though, and choose instead to make his own friends get rid of him. So they started a campaign against him.
One day, a vote was called. At the vote, everyone would have an equal voice, and the workers all vowed not to settle the issue until a unanimous decision could be reached.
By now, Rey had a lot of negative publicity. His unwillingness to back down from his opinions drew the scorn of many of his fellow workers. As a result, he went to the vote with many of his friends prepared to do what the Boss had wished for the whole game.
AND IT WAS A TRIUMPH! Rey fought with all his heart, defending every attack made against his person, and in the end, the town choose to get rid of someone el-
NSFWOh Dear. . .NSFW (rey with throat cut)
Well . . .
Damn.
Uhhhhhhhhh. . .
LOOK, BEES!
