Just Don't Celebrate at Work For labor day, I put in a nice full shift. I'll get time and a half for the duty but I couldn't help but spend a few minutes with a quite visable smirk thinking of a few devilish ways of celebrating labor day at work; wishing all the managers a "Happy Labor Day!" or leading an impromptu rendition of "Solidarity Forever!" But I thought better of it. For besides being a holiday that we all recognize, do we even really celebrate the true meaning of labor day anymore? And would you get "fired" for doing so at work? Odd enough that on a day set aside for honoring the labor activists of the past and the accomplishments that have improved the lives of working people I know darn good and well that any and all talk of Unions would put me on a short list of people with one foot out the door. Tonight, Fox new's local broadcast did a puff piece about employees at Target that "are just lucky to have a job". They are more than willing to put in longer hours and request extra shifts for even holiday hours, because when put over the barrell people will do what they need to do to survive. They followed that report with a short piece that explained to viewers that president Bush "believes" that his tax cuts will create jobs. Hey thanks... Happy Labor Day to you too! Today's post brought to you in stereo by John Mayer's, Room Enough for Squares, and the sound of rain. :-) | |
