Most of the labor day social media posts are from people that work for a company, but you can find many more from individuals that love working for a company as well.
Labor Day is a celebration of America’s workers and in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis that lasted for a few years, there was a general sense of anger and frustration. However, the labor movement, and especially the United Auto Workers, has continued to fight for better pay and better working conditions for drivers, mechanics, and drivers’ helpers.
The UAW has been at the forefront of this fight, and it looks like they have a new leader. According to UAW news, they just hired a new Executive Director, Dave Bohnet, who is the current Director of National Security and State Policy, who will be responsible for organizing and organizing around the UAW’s issues.
Bohnet has been a strong advocate for better wages, better working conditions, and a more just workplace. He’s also been instrumental in organizing on the front lines of this fight, recently heading a delegation to Washington to advocate for better pay and living conditions for UAW workers.
The only real problem with this is that it’s an extremely poor organization. Its chief executive officer, Larry Baker, is a brilliant guy who has been an activist for years and is a huge supporter of the UAW. He’s been an advocate for the UAW for years, and he’s done a remarkable job with the UAW in the last few years. What a great job he’s done for the UAW over the years, and I’m honored to be a part of his leadership.
Larry Baker is not a bad guy. He is in fact a brilliant guy who is very passionate about the UAW. He will do his best to help it grow, and I applaud his efforts. But I think its a terrible organization. Its president, Richard Lynch, is a former Democratic Party staffer who is well versed in the ins and outs of Democratic politics. He is a bad guy because he is trying to fix something that is not broken.
Larry makes a big point in one of his first posts that seems to be a direct shot at President Obama. He says, “I am calling to remind you that you are a company, not a person. You are paid to make a product. Your job is to make sure that the product is good. If it is good, the customers will pay for it, so it’s a win/win for everyone.
This is an interesting point on which to disagree with Larry. I disagree with Larry because I believe that most companies have a lot of employees who can’t do the job that they are paid to do. If you look at what companies spend most of their employees’ time doing, it is working with competitors. So if Larry wants to have a good relationship with his employees, he should be working with his competitors, not trying to make the world’s best salesman.
Larry, the majority of companies spend the majority of their employees time working with other companies. He is right when he says that it is a very good idea to have a relationship with your competition. But, I believe that most companies are very good at doing what they are paid to do and, unlike Larry, he would rather have a bad relationship with his employees than a good one. In addition, most companies do this by creating a “culture” of being friendly, respectful, and fair.
In the past when I’ve posted on labor day social media, I’ve been told that I am a horrible person, that I’m being disrespectful, and that I should not be posting. Today, I’m making a few posts for labor day to prove to the rest of the world that I am not a horrible person, that I am not being disrespectful, and that I do not need to be posting.
