Abstract: Take This Job and Shove It. These six words from the popular tune by Johnny Paycheck which sold over a million copies, probably best describe how millions of Americans feel about their jobs and as I will explain in my speech today, this attitude about ones work is probably the main cause of absenteeism. For the purposes of this discussion, wt: shall define absenteeism as the failure of workers to report on the job when they are scheduled to work. One would think that with the improved medical facilities and medical insurance available to almost all of our work force and with the lessening of excessive, heavy labor together with the removal of sweat shops, that attendance would be improving. Yet, it has been estimated that absenteeism is costing our economy over 10 billion dollars a year. In fact, a major New York utility observed that over one third of our nations work force has tendencies to be chronically absent from work.
