Labor Day Ponderings
This year in particular has me thinking about not only the workforce in general, but keeping that work in America.
Usually for me, Labor Day means one final family camping trip before the craziness of school and sports for my kids make for busy nights and weekends after the work day is done. The other night I was shopping online for my daughter’s school clothes when an ad appeared on the top of one of the sites I was on that said, “Put Americans Back to Work: Take the Pledge Today.” Intrigued, I clicked, and was directed here. Immediately I saw manufacturer/molder The Rodon Group’s name pop up as a supporter of this organization, and I was reminded of how deeply they are involved in these efforts.
Happy Labor Day!
