Sure have! One is a normal maintenance crew; others mere subjects of volume over welfare environment.

It's nearby; here we use 'normal' motivational posters.
And casual Fridays.
Lol.

Now that was an equal opportunity employer just as many women if not more than men and probably everyone receiving the exact same pay.

Reminds me of Tennessee Ernie Ford and 16 tons...not sure it was equal opportunity in the Virgin Island in 1898.

Thanks Jon, Great Pic!

Haven't heard that for decades. Lots of the ol' songs were about labour (mostly love) "Workin for the Man" and getting out of poverty. I don't get am reception in the home but in my car I listen to a Brisbane station that plays 60's to 80's songs. Love old stuff & ones like like Johnny horton 60's, Beatles, stones, Animals eagles b.boys etc. A local fm station plays 60's through to current ones like Brett Denham. Not really into most Rapp or Swampy stuff.
Thanks for the time warp, PJ.
