Thoughts about Labour/Management Relations


Our labours are traded for dollars and cents,
yet not always exchanged with any good sense.

Militant language and behaviour not liked
but bosses and members have issues that spike.

Confronting issues of ethics and economy head on,
no gentle parties to give folks some balm.

Workers seem always to want some more money,
but work site conditions are really the honey.

Conditions kept from workers because of a budget
management speaks a language of logic that's set.

Communication between these two sides, not that always that easy,
needs common ground found without getting so beastly.

Both labour and management have families and homes
deserving safety, security however their income.

But no rules should there be at the expense of the other.
Stop fighting, starting talking - be true and kind to each other.

“Everything in the world is purchased by labor.”
~ David Hume
