TRUCKING. The Teamsters' last contract contained a cost of living adjustment (COLA) provision, but it had a "cap"-the adjustment could not exceed 110 an hour in any year.

...attempts to bring his Neapolitan charm to bear on the ogress, despite the ravages his misfortunes have wreaked on his appearance. Whistling, winking, and blowing kisses as if he were on an Italian street corner, Pasqualino hums a southern love song as he adjusts his striped prisoner's cap to a rakish angle above his sunken cheeks, hoping to entice a woman whose outstretched whip and frozen gaze make her a figure only slightly more approachable than Hitler himself...
