52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2024: Week 36 (WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT)
At first I was thinking that I didn't want to write about this week's prompt because I haven't dug up any new skeletons for quite a while, and didn't have the capacity to start digging.
I then considered reposting an old skeleton, but thought where's the fun in that.
Then I considered not writing at all, but decided that didn't fit for me because I committed to myself that I would write weekly.
Then I decided to write about Labour Day, and the Labour Movement.
We have unions to thank for many of the protections found across the unionized and non-unionized workforce.
Without unions I believe we would still be working too many days a week without many of the protections we see across all sectors.
Chris and I have had the privilege of belonging to a union for a lot of our adult lives.
Chris got very involved in his union.
He held many positions in his many years with the union.
Until he was promoted to management 2 1/2 years ago.
I'm not sure he sees the humour in my regular comments that he joined the dark side.
It was about that same time he left the union that I became involved in my union.
We don't talk about our different sides of the Labour/Management table.
Just kidding ... we talk about it a lot!!!
In fact I have plans to take a Facing Management Effectively course, and change our dinner hour forever.
Until then we don't talk about it!!!
This is why I search -
Cause ...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
