Reminder - Message from Local 2 and my son
My son called me today. He was at a union meeting in Honolulu. There was a lot of loud speechifying in the background. He is the union rep for the hotel he works at in Maui. I think he got the job because was the only person with an undergraduate degree. His master's degree was probably superfluous. Although his compassion would make him be my choice to be the bridge between labor and management. He wanted me to use the power of the blog to remind everyone of something important. (I think he has vastly overestimated the power of this blog, but it is nice that a son overestimates anything positive a mother does). Being completely incapable of denying my son anything (my daughter too!), here is the message.
