Labour

In every economy, labour continues to be the spine of progress. Disrespecting labour is telling them to exercise restraint in an economic downturn for the greater good without toeing the line with them. 

Happy Labour Day, everyone. Your blood, sweat & tears define your country. Onwards!

Labour Day

Labour Day. Commemorating the blood, sweat & tears of labour everywhere, not just in this country. Strangely, the labour chief here is an individual with direct affiliations to the government. We wonder how labour interests could be fairly represented under such circumstances.

 

In labour we trust

Reminder to self - this country thrives on bleeding the workers here with taxes & rent. My respect to those who break sweat to fend for themselves.

Labour-ing

It's the day to recognize the blood & sweat that perpetuate the economy - the working people. In the mean time, labour is struggling to keep afloat in the midst of suffocating inflation. Prices are largely unchecked let alone mediated. There is this fear of intervention, instead, letting laissez faire maintain status quo. In this country, there is a plastic relationship between the union & politicians. There is this overwhelming concern that the union should be on good terms with the government, effectively killing the checking mechanism of the authority. In this economy where labour contributes significantly to the economy (we are being made to pay & pay, yes?) there is this fear of revolt. A crippled economy means, people at the top would be hit the hardest. White is not the colour of our national pride.

To all the labour labouring this laboured life, God bless. The struggle is real.

Labouring

It's that time of the year again when we pause to pay tribute to the people who keep the engine of the economy running - workers. In recent times, the media had announced impending price hikes in view of the increasing prices of raw materials so prices of basic amenities, food especially, will see upward revisions everywhere. Are wages keeping up with this? Who determines if the wages should keep abreast with the times? Should it be kept in check at all? These are the issues of labour welfare which are rightfully under the ambit of the union. But the union here has a friendly relationship with the government & always scope their interest with compliance in mind. What's the point of having an organization supposedly looking after the acute interests of workers? You can be friendly but remember who you are looking after.

On that note, here's wishing all workers a deserving day of rest, it's a long weekend for many of us with the festive holiday as the bonus extension. 

Labouring 2021

Dedicated to everyone who toils to make ends meet & keeps the economy going - we remember you. Let's not forget the ones who keep COVID-19 at bay as well - salute!

Labour power

This might be one of the bleakest times to be celebrating the labour movement. In the mean time, labour is crippled & living on borrowed time. The economy is turning & the ones to suffer in time to come - unemployment, wage freeze, wage cut - are the people out there who toil to put food on the table. The authorities must not forget the importance of labour here, the coming together of our forefathers, regardless of their skin colour & beliefs, to build a nation, strong & free. On that note, Happy Labour Day dear blog readers, regardless of who we are, we are working to make ends meet, some of us working harder than the rest. Take care, stay home & stay safe.

Labour Day 2019

A tribute to workers everywhere for their blood, sweat & tears in keeping things running. Most of the time, these efforts get overlooked. Employers treat the workers for granted, giving them bare minimum (or less) to get things by. They forget that they are dealing with human beings. In this country, the economy is everything. It is fortunate that people here are law abiding, any plans for retaliation is quickly quelled by the possibility of losing a good income source. Workers here think of their family, mouths to feed, more than themselves.

On that note, cases like this (CNA, 23/4/2019) shouldn't happen. It reflects badly on the affluent society here, leaving care & concern in the gutters, opting for profits instead. Respects workers from all walks of life, they make or break the country's economy. More importantly, they are our fellow human beings. 

The working class

It's a day of rest here. To the working cohort, yours truly included, we are working to make ends meet. Well, that would be the majority of us- family to feed, bills to pay. Where I am, the cost of living is climbing compounded by the fact that more things are affecting the quality of life, buses moving slower, frequent train breakdown, people with poor public etiquette, authorities with elitist mindsets & the lists go on. Looks like we will be working our souls off with very little leeway for leisure. But there exists this tenacious bunch of people in society who would find time to play guitar regardless of the circumstances. Wishing you a deserving day of rest. 😁

Power to labour

It's Labour Day here. Here's wishing all workers a deserving rest day- it's family time for many of us. 

To all bosses out there, treat your workers with respect, they are the cogs in your organization wheel. Every one of them is as important as you are, hope you realized this by now. My visit to the guitar stores sometimes exposed a level of disrespect between bosses & employees. Workers on the other hand should be mindful of their standing in the organization. If your boss is rotten, tell him diplomatically. If this fails, then move on. Remember, you don't quit your job- you quit your boss.
