When I was a kid, I loved Labor Day because time and a half was $6.34/hour. Then, when starting working after college, I always hoped to work Labor Day because… we all did. Everyone in hospitals hopes to have TG or Xmas off, and time and a half was not “a thing.”
I had one job where we had holidays off and it was kinda weird.
My folks worked in hospitals so we understood, “people don’t stop being sick for holidays.” So, I told my kids the same.
Before college my father was a union
1/
Worker. The brotherhood of electricians (there is an acronym I can’t recall.)
Not until this morning did I REALLY think about Labor Day and it’s importance.
Happy Labor Day, my friends. This is one of the more meaningful holidays we have in this country.
End.
