A Rainy Day in Newark
by Howard Teichmann

When pompous John Kodiak, a union boss, pressures Lamb Clock Company owner, Elizabeth Lamb, into signing an agreement to limit her employees to 12 hours a week, Kodiak does not expect Lamb's immediate acquiescence.

Eager to teach Kodiak a lesson, Elizabeth hands over the company to Kodiak who boasts that he can easily run the clock manufacturing business properly and to the advantage of the laborers.

A madcap 1960s satire ensues which examines the perils of fanatical trade unionism, as Kodiak experiences firsthand how difficult it is to run an American business controlled by union law.
