"new episodes of THE KING OF QUEENS aired on CBS from september 1998 through may 2007.the show currently runs in offnetwork syndication on several channels including TBS.werthorn recalls haveing trouble selling the show to writers and executives, who expressed concern that if Doug was just a truck driver, "people would find him a loser".Weithorn disagreed, claiming,"for a couple to have their own house, for the husband to have a union job, he's living the american dream". in fact, weithorn explains, Doug's blue-collar profession is an important part of the show's appeal: "i think it comes down to the shorts. if at all possible, we have one scene with doug coming or going from work in every episode, just to remind people that's what he does".
discourse
Chinese translation:工会(保障的)工作
Explanation:
北美普遍的现象:很多行业,尤其是蓝领行业,工人都是属于工会的会员。工会以行业进行组织,在各个公司代表工人利益,通过集体谈判代表工人向雇主争取工资、工作条件、福利等方面的利益。有一份“工会工作”就意味着饭碗相对比较有保障,雇主不敢无故开除。典型的例子包括北美汽车工人工会、卡车司机工会、演员工会、教师工会等等。
