Let’s Fix Work Episode 74 We talk about and “remember” 9/11 in America in a very callous way, without truly remembering that nearly 3,000 people died at work. Nearly 3,000 people. A lot of people have memories of 9/11, but my memory of that day and of Claudia Martinez Foster, one of the people who lost their lives that day, started a week or so before; when I had the pleasure of working with her at One World Trade Center.
Claudia had a fun life. She was talking about starting a family. She loved children. She loved makeup. She had a job on the 105th floor of Tower One, World Trade Center. And, she lost her life on September 11th, 2001, at work. I will never stop writing or talking about Claudia.
This week I wanted to share with you my thoughts on old Labor Day traditions, the emergence of the “new” Labor Day, and remembering 9/11. If the topic of terrorism is hard for you (as it is for many of us) or you’ve lost someone on 9/11, this episode might be one you want to skip.
