Yesterday was a holiday in the Dominican Republic. It was Labor Day.
Labor Day around the world is a day for the workers to protest the injustice done them by management. People march in the streets and there are usually a few deaths associated with the protests.
What kills me about yesterday is that the holiday was moved to a Monday. May 1 is the traditional date for this holiday. So basically, management decided to move the day of protest for the workers. And the workers let them.
At least here, this is how management turned Labor Day around…from a day of gunfire and slogan-shouting to a day of hot dogs and beer.
Cheers.
