I know haiku poems traditionally are reserved for paying hommage to nature. But the following haiku came to me today that I share here in recognition of the Labor Day holiday.

The labor movement
Workers building our country
Honoring them all

I soon will teach a set of sessions on employment and labor law for The University of Tennessee’s Professional MBA program. I share some social and economic background on U.S. employment and labor with the class before heading into they core legal and regulatory principles I want them to know. Maybe I will share the haiku, too, in that spirit . . . ?

Regardless, I salute all those who built the United States into what it is today through their hard work.
