The first woman was hired in 1993 Out of 405 employees 72 are women Minorities make up 28 employees The work place certainly has changed My first long job was at Hardee's I had two minorities in the four years I worked there One a beautiful Japanese American woman One an African American man I still remember Shannon from Hardee's I am using the golf balls she gave me in 1991 Lost five so far out of 12 Women used to get to stay at home When the dollar was strong One job was enough to pay the bills You didn't have cable You didn't pay for a cell phone or internet And taxes were a lot less Are women and minorities getting a fair shake at work? No! We have a long way to go to truly get fair treatment for all workers I do appreciate any of the workers who have reached out to me Who have been nice to me Weather they be woman, minority, or whatever Thank you!
