How About "Toiling For You" or "Slaving For You"?

I can't believe anyone would take this seriously. I guess I can work for you but I can't talk about it?

If you wanted to sell hamburgers, you couldn't stick golden arches outside your eatery to make it look like a McDonald's.
So how, asks Vaughan councillor Bernie Di Vona, can his rival Rosanna DeFrancesca print campaign literature with what he considers his trademark phrase, 'working for you'?
Di Vona registered a design including the phrase, 'Bernie Di Vona working for you Ward 3' with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office in 1999.
Now, he's seeing red because DeFrancesca has printed 17,500 flyers saying, 'Rosanna DeFrancesca, `Working For You' Vaughan Councillor Ward 3.'
'That's in-the-gutter politics,' Di Vona said, comparing the 'working for you' phrase to the McDonald's golden arches.
