Subject: Re: Labor Day thoughts
You are correct.

I'm getting a haircut today, along with my BIL. The stylists are working today. It wasn't my decision. Their corporate office issued the coupons with expiration date of 9/1. They could have issued it for 9/2.

In my old company, it was exactly as you describe. The production workers (fab and wafer test) worked holidays, everyone else got the day off (engineers, paper-pushers of all types, executives and managers, etc). Our production line operated 24/7/365, except for occasional maintenance stoppages (that were usually a week in duration).

Maybe Dems could get more support if they mandated that Labor Day was a day off that employers couldn't ask or force you to work. CEOs would scream, but I'd bet the workers would appreciate it. Doing something for the "working man" for a change.
