Very unlikely George involved in any labor influence with exception of the above offered by NickyWhip. Now onto the not kicking up, I could see Joey/ Stevie allowing George to do his own thing with the scraps they've thrown. Just in an attempt to keep him appeased. But knowing George, he's not going to be happy with this arrangement and at some point offer resistance. It would be interesting to know who he's hanging with these days. Anyone know?
