Ever since Adam took that bite of the forbidden fruit, men have had to work for a living, earning their keep by the sweat of their brows.. For thousands of years, men worked for other richer, more powerful men as slaves, serfs or servants.
Equitable pay and safe working conditions are a relatively new concept, which strongly emerged in the United States with the labor movement of the late 19th century.
Today, Labor Day is a national holiday – the first Monday in September.
Although labor itself has changed in many ways – most of today’s jobs are very different from their historical antecedents – some jobs are still dangerous. The difference is that worker safety and compensation is a hell of a lot better than in the old days!
At WellJet® (US Patent No. 8,312,930 B1), we use high-pressure hydrojetting to restore production and efficiency in groundwater wells.
Although the work can sometimes be difficult, and there is always risk involved with high-pressure equipment, Safety First is our guiding principle.
Happy Labor Day, America!
