labor day
Auburn Quad is great. I got this mesage from my boss on Friday:
Just a reminder that Auburn Quad is closed on Monday. I hope everyone has a great long weekend!
And not to wax too poetic, but Labor Day is more than just a day off. Currently in my previous town, Boeing employees are preparing to strike because of an insufficient contract offer by Boeing. Some of the best Democratic leadership came out of the labor movement, which also brought us reasonable pay, decent work schedules, and days off like Labor Day. I appreciate unions, and I respect workers and what Barack Obama last night called the “dignity of work.” That includes the fabulous employees and contractors at Auburn Quad. I hope you find some time, in the midst of working hard and playing hard, to appreciate the courageous labor organizers who’ve given us a decent life. And I hope you find the right amount of challenge and a great sense of accomplishment from working at Auburn Quad. Thanks, everyone!
It’s important to me to work at a place that gives me that kind of respect.
