I grew up on a family farm. We tilled, put up hay, drove trucks and harvested crops.
I have worked as a building engineer, a handyman, a groundskeeper, a personal care assistant, a teacher, a janitor, a truck driver, a courier, etc.
Working with one's hands keeps one grounded in the real world, even when engaged in theoretical and idealistic speculating which I love to indulge in.
I have belonged to three labor unions and never regretted the experience at all. I just like union-management relations to be play out in a free market system.
Workers make this country tick. Hats off to them. Happy Labor Day!
