Quote by George Bernard Shaw
No king on earth is as safe in his job as a Trade Union official. There is only one thing that can get him sacked; and that is drink. Not even that, as long as he doesn't actually fall down.
Summary
This quote satirically points out the perceived security of Trade Union officials in their positions, comparing them to kings who hold significant power. It suggests that the only threat to a Trade Union official's job security is if they have a drinking problem, although even this might not be cause for dismissal unless it significantly affects their performance. The quote humorously highlights the often unchallenged nature of certain roles and the unique vulnerabilities that can put individuals in such positions at risk.
