Labour Day – Endings and Beginnings 

Labour Day in the era of the great pandemic! The year 2020 continues to teach us so much about work – who is essential, who is really essential, and who can best help by lounging on the sofa. We are being shown things about who deserves extra pay and about what it means to work from home and which configurations of the office make most sense.

How do we navigate elevators in office buildings? Do we shorten the workday or do we stagger working hours? How do we protect workers, especially those who deal on a daily basis with the public? And, most importantly of all, what mask is most appropriate for today?

It’s bound to be a major year in the shifting understanding of what work means in the 21st century. I’m a regular reader of The Economist and always look forward to their analysis of the new world. I realize that it deals mostly with the kind of labour mostly carried out at desks, but there is also plenty out there for all of us, regardless of how we make our living.

Praise the Lord
