Today’s News

Today at work we had the second annual employee appreciation BBQ.  The weather wasn’t the nicest since it was downright cold and very windy but still it was a fairly good time.  The union president was even there.

The union has always supported the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada in the wonderful work they do but this year Kraus decided they were going to get in on the volunteer wagon as well.

They chose to partner with Habitat for Humanity and honestly I don’t think I could think of a better fit for a flooring company than a volunteer organization that helps those who are down on their luck with their housing situations.

For the first time in a very long time I’m proud to say I work for Kraus Carpets.

They are finally pulling themselves up by their boot straps and getting out in the community, recognizing all the hard work their employees have put into their products and I, at least, am a lot happier with my job now than I can ever remember being.

The proverbial icing on the cake today was that I got a 25 year service award which includes a day off with pay.  The day off has to be used by December 31 and they have to make sure they will have enough workers to get the product out by the end of the day but I don’t see an issue with that at all :).

Kudos to Kraus Carpets and UFCW 175 and 633.

And:

I know I already told everyone about my brother’s business and gave you his site address but I thought I would let you know, too, that he is looking for a pre-seller to help him build his business.
