'Dear' Santa,
We, the undersigned, demand that you address the appalling working conditions at the North Pole. Curled slippers do not protect elfin toes from the snow and the uniform code that forbids mittens in your poorly heated factories is to blame for recent toy breakages, not our supposed 'laziness'. We have brought this to your attention many times.
Should these conditions continue, we will go on strike. And we will block up your chimney with coal. Let's see how you like getting that for Christmas this year! What a creative holiday bonus that was.
From,
Your Beleaguered Elves
