How cool are weekends?

I survived my first week back at work after the christmas holiday period, and now it's Friday evening.

Thank the gods it's Friday.

Seriously, how lucky are we to have weekends?

Seriously lucky. But you know what? It's not luck. Corporations would be happy to see us all work until we dropped, only to be replaced by the next forsaken soul.

No it's not luck.

It's politics that gave us the weekend.

It's the politics of workers joining together to demand a better deal from the corporations that were sucking their very life away before their eyes.

It's the politics of organised labour. The politics of unionism.

So if you don't like unions, and what they stand for, remember that without them, there would never be a weekend.

And if you think there's no place for them in today's economy, remember too that without the men and women of organised labor still standing strong at the barricades, weekends would disappear faster than you can say "profits aren't high enough this quarter."

Enjoy your hard-won weekend!

The labour Union is a nice thing. They fight for the workers when they are being molested and stepped on by the government or employers.

Without unions of the mass producers to balance monopolistic capital, this world would indeed be an even more horrible place for the everyday man.

thumbs up :)

TGIF

now i appreciate the weekend and unions more!!! thank you!!

ahaha I feel you!! Friday is such a psychological relieve, it feels so good...

Who doesn’t love Friday?Thank you labor unions

But if we never had the weekstart, we wouldn't need the weekend..
Coming from someone who works when needed, relaxes when desired, and regularly has no idea what day it is, except by the sun and moon cycles..
None the less hope you enjoy your free time!

I like the way you think! I look forward to a world where we can all work in the way you do cardoprimo 👍

True, who worked in an Multi National Companies, they know the value of weekends and specially the Friday because Friday brings the joy of weekend.

Have a great day and stay blessed.

Friday is such a wonderful time to relax and hang out and have fun. we gotta enjoy it.

I feel the same.Thank you labor unions :)
