Is and Ain't

For those of us who see Memorial Day as the unofficial start of summer, this, the Labor Day weekend, in that same spirit marks its end. Neither, of course, is true and that can be most easily proven by looking at the calendar but perceptions of reality and reality are often the same thing, calendar be damned. 

I benefited during my working career from a lot of people who came before me in terms of demanding and receiving a living wage, a safe workplace, dignified and respectful treatment and a list of tangible and intangible benefits that runs from here to the horizon.

Enjoy the Labor Day weekend.

But always remember what it's about.
