Union worker, perhaps?
Or this:
You beat me to it. I was going to post that same picture.
Government worker!
Hey, at least you're an intellectually honest government worker.Whatever
-another overpaid incompetent government worker here.
It might be understandable. There's not a guy walking along with a spray can. They paint these things from a truck. Nobody gets out and the truck never stops. The operator just turns the paint flow off and on.
I would bet that Union rules say that they are not ALLOWED to take said action.The fact that they are incapable of stopping, jumping out, and moving the branch is the sad part.
I've worked at a few facilities that were union. Something as simple as moving offices would take days waiting for all the approvals and required forms to simply move my pc. One place allowed me to move my chair but not my pc. My pc accidentally fell onto the seat of my chair just before I wheeled my chair to my new office late one evening after all witnesses had left the building ...
"Huh! Now how did THAT get there?"

Net result: the company now contracts out all IT functions, and a fully-staffed help desk handles such things at a fraction of the old cost. They did not want to do it, but the demand for even more-restrictive work rules and a substantial increase in pay broke the camel's back.
