Reducing S-T-R-E-S-S in the Work place

 A number of tragic stories in the news lately focus public attention

    on stress in the work place. I read a ludicrous news item on some

    group's effort to introduce " spirituality " there.

       I do not wish to mock genuine spirituality here,but how do we

    reconcile it with the " bottom line " and obtuse management who-everywhere

    -are selected on the basis of brutal market place skills?

      As one Rhode Island Hospital nurse put it in a recent letter to the

    editor: the situation is " hopeless " with blind administration.

       There is too much job worship in this society. Full employment can

    indeed produce as much mass misery as deep recessions.

       Too many people are being overworked, even when they are well paid by

    our society's standards. There nervous system is so adjusted to adrenaline

    pumping situations that they do not know how to relax. They are even more

    miserable on their vacations than they are on the damned job!

       The individual can only do a few things to counter work place lunacy.

    We call our society democratic but there is hardly any democracy in the

    work place. The bullies are in complete charge everywhere. Thank the gods

    for whatever UNIONS we have left!  ( be careful with the bullies there too)

       One way to take the terror out of the work place is to make many so

    called " benefits " just human rights, We still need a national health

    care plan. And a good education is also a human right. The poor has as

    much right to a " Harvard Education " as the rich. ( have )

        Higher Education should be completely FREE! Middle class parents should

    not have to sell themselves down the river so that their children can " get

    ahead " in life.

        If these ideas sound to strange to so called LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, then

    it is about time a LABOR PARTY be organized in the United States.

       Nothing less than your SANITY is at stake!
