Allen Zadr's Journal: Labor Day

Labor Day. A day to celebrate the people, who's hard work builds the greatness around us.

Unlike most holidays that celebrate for historic and religious events, this holiday celebrates the worker.

Most folks assume that there was some long-ago event that started the charge for a 'Labor Day'. There was not.

This means that this holiday should remain current; important. For as long as there are those who work - Labor Day has meaning.

If there is a strike in your area... go drive by and honk your horn (a show of support). In any case, look around at the highways, bridges, buildings, homes, cars, furniture and even the clothes you are wearing - and think about the work that others put into it, and think about the contribution your own work makes.

Cool huh?

Now back to your grill, and Jerry Lewis' Muscular Distrophy Association Telethon.

[UPDATE] While Labor Day is an American Holiday, the need for reflection on the power of Labor does not need to be an America-only thing. Reading journals of some Slashers from other countries (like Mercado) has me thinking of this. Reflect with me, even if your government doesn't recognize today as an official holiday! Your work is important, too.

Sure, enjoy your Labor Day

Just in reading my journal you have reflected upon the meaning of the day, and I have succeeded in what I set out to do.

I hope your homework is done well, so that you can become an even more useful member of society. Good luck getting to that BBQ.

I'm working, and it sucks. It's like a normal monday, complete with catastrophes, but without any support.

Workers Matter

[eno2001]

Although the defininition of "workers" has changed enough today that many of them are fooled into thinking that they aren't workers (A lot of IT folks assume that they are suits, while they are being shit upon by their employers), the workers are who this day is for. Labor Day [wikipedia.org] is what America established to try and keep socialism from growing, in deferences to May Day (May 1). Either way, I consider myself a worker and realize that the only reason I am here is to make someone else's life better. That's w

Today -I think it's labour day in America, I had an unexpected holiday. All transportation was unavailable owing to typhoon. I had already told my company that I would be unable to go working. The company allotted one of my colleague who's day-off today and the company saying I have to take the place of his workday sometime later.

My company doesn't have extra personel to fill the vacancy I happened to have. But believe me absolutely it is not my fault to have him work in his day-off. In case of emergency,
