Plot Summary of The Scheme for Full Employment
"A fleet of identical vans are driven by drivers going to warehouses and depots to pick up and deliver parts for Univans. All is well until human nature begins to creep in.
A few drivers develop sidelines, delivering other items such as cakes along the routes. Gradually two distinct groups emerge: the Early Swervers, who believe their day should end when their route is finished, and the Flat Dayers, who believe everyone should put in the number of hours they are paid for. A rift between the groups grows until there is a threatened strike."

Jeanette Aromi, Resident Scholar
