A county employee in Binghamton, NY wants to be reimbursed for a lost lunch hour. You see, his boss kept him inside the building for his own safety while thirteen people were being killed nearby.
The hour in question is the time James Kauchis, an accounting clerk,
was being held in his building by bosses for his own protection while a
massacre was underway at the American Civic Association nearby. The county worker has told a Binghamton newspaper he did indeed file a
formal complaint last week to the county personnel department. Beyond
that he says it's a matter, quote, "between me, the administration and
the union."
...
The county had provided pizza and beverages to workers during the time they were being confined to the government building for their own safety.

Whatever you do, don't come between a government worker and his lunch hour.
"This is the kind of thing that makes government workers look bad," said personnel department director Michael Klein.
