“Join a union, because its very unlikely three ghosts will appear and scare your boss”

“Unions, because it’s VERY unlikely three spirits will appear and scare your boss into doing the right thing” was posted on Twitter by IATSE // #IASolidarity on December 25, 2020, and received about 45,000 likes. The “three spirits” refers to A Christmas Carol (1843) by Charles Dickens, and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come visiting Ebenezer Scrooge.
     
“UNIONS….because the chance of 3 ghosts visiting your boss to make him do the right thing is unreasonably slim” (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook by Sheila Bee on December 8, 2021. It’s uncertain who originated this popular image.

Wikipedia: A Christmas Carol
A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.
