Power of Union
My teenage daughter and I were driving to school one morning when we saw banners across the highway publicizing the janitor strike in California.
Thinking this was a great opportunity to discuss current events, I started explaining the reason for the strike, the power of unions and compared the janitors to garbage collectors…deserving more money for performing a less than glamorous job.
My daughter then stated “I think garbage collectors have a really great job.”
When asked to elaborate she responded, “Well, they only work on Thursdays!” (our trash pick-up day)
