I’ve never been a big fan of “organized labor” in today’s times since it can be a prime mover in slowing down productivity/ efficiency; which can hurt everyone involved in assembling a company but today there is a movement that they need to fight for. When I read that 1/3 of the labor force has to work Thanksgiving and 2/5 have to work Christmas and/or New Years I know that the fight is not over. For the good of society people should be able to spend some quality time with their families especially during the holidays and with almost 1/2 the work force not participating I’m sure we can make a way for that to occur without hurting the bottom line too much . We don’t have to be in an organized movement to stop this abuse of labor just agree not to shop on the holiday’s mentioned. We’ll just have to have the Turkey with a little less gravy or the Christmas Tree may not have as many lights so that we can work to insure that more workers get to be productive not just on the assembly line but the line of life and happiness.
