Work is an essential part of our being. We are all workers by nature! This is because any effort that leads to any form of development-- may it be an increase in financial capabilities and material assets, advancement of skills and title, growth of social network, or accomplishment of even a simple task-- gives us meaning and purpose. Working provides us with countless opportunities to develop and grow as individuals, teams and communities. It helps us provide for ourselves and our families, showcase our talents and skills, learn new things, reach certain goals, and become part of something bigger than ourselves.

And what better way to reflect upon the importance of work than by joining all workers across the globe in celebrating Labor Day or International Workers’ Day. Before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, we would usually see or hear about people gathering together on the 1st of May to either celebrate this event or hold big rallies. When COVID hit, we learned the hard way that it is human labor that truly keeps our communities going. Machineries and establishments may remain intact and unaffected by this virus--but without workers, we have witnessed how all these have become inoperative and lifeless.

So on this day, Medstar Transportation joins all nations across the globe in celebrating the value of work and the achievements of workers in various sectors. We have witnessed how the work that we put in collectively-- may it be in transportation, commerce, manufacturing, education, or any other industry-- makes this world a better place. 

Today, may we all have an increased appreciation for human labor. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance.” 

Happy Labor Day--and let’s all continue to work hard!
