Shaw Foods Signs Contract Worth from page i
tic about the opportunity. Evelyn
Shaw, who co-owns the company
with her husband, Larry, said the
contract is important to the compa
ny's continued growth in the food
service industry.
"We view this award as an
acknowledgement of and belief in
our fiscal competitiveness and con
sistent quality track record," said
Shaw, the company's vice presi
dent. "We applaud the leadership at
R.J.' Reynolds Tobacco Co. as they
move with unstinting speed toward
creating a model business alliance
? one that is built on enabling and
encouraging sound business prac
tices." ? , - ' /
During its first 15 years in
business, Shaw Foods' market com
prised military installations, includ
ing Pope Air Force Base in Fayet
teville, one of the firm's first
Defense Department contracts. In
the early 1980s, the company diver
sified its customer base to include
university, business and industrial
clients.
1 Other Shaw clients include
Fayetteville State University and
tfther historically black universities,
the Cumberland County Depart- y
ment of Mental Health and 1C1
Americas Inc.
? Said Ron Bennett, manager of
negotiation and contracts adminis
tration in Reynolds' purchasing
departments "Earlier this year we
decided to review our food service
needs as a result of changing
requirements.
"We were looking for a com
pany that could provide the right
mix of quality, seijvice and cost," he
said. "Shaw Food Services did the
l>est job of meeting pie Tough stan
dards we established in every
regard. We were also impressed
with the high level of employee
morale and satisfaction we encoun
tered at every Shaw facility we vis
ited." /
Last year, several African
Americans complained about work
conditions at ARA. About 35 of
them later met with Citizens United
for Justicc air concerns and file
official grievances against the com
pany. The charges included bein^
paid below-minimum wages, be{^
passed over for raises and having
racial slurs hurled at them by man
agers. Ninety -eight of the employ
ees at ARA were black.
That meeting resulted in the
firing of a white assistant manager
and a meeting with management to
discuss employee concerns. ARA ..
officials, who came here from
Philadelphia to meet with the
group, said they would try to pro
mote better relations with employ
ees. These still did not satisfy
employees, mainly because job
descriptions and salary ranges were
not addressed.
i Reynolds' officials said ARA's
negative publicity and its relation
ship with African- American
employees had no bearing on the
decision to sign a contract with
Shaw. Reynolds officials also said
that only Shaw's managers would
. come on board and that none of the
worker^ previously with ARA
would lose jobs. i 6 .

Be Thankful For the Fruits of Your Labor
As we approach Labor Day,
jakejime'-to enjoy and be thankful
.for the fruits of your labor. Labor
D^y has been set aside for a time of
rest. Resting is a hard job for some
people. Some people refuse to rest.
Let's face it, everyone needs and is
entitled to rest and relaxation-some
times, in order, to be refreshed or
rejuvenated to enhance-the mind
and body. Some relaxation is perti
nent to the health and well being of
,, the body. If you are a person who is
\>n the go constantly, find precious
sanity time for yourself. It could be
a little extra time while in the bath
room to sit and think. Take a ride '
out in the country to observe or
savor the beautiful scenery. Browse
the book store, clothing stores, craft
shops, and department stores. Keep
in mind you are browsing not neces
sarily buying. Visiting places you
enjoy can help divert your mind and
give you a chance to forget prob
lems and can be educational. You
can learn what's available on the
market by browsing.
Tfcke tifne to evaluate the work ,
you are doiOg. Write down the suc
cesses yjHJ have had on the job
through! the years. Determine
whethefr these successes have made
a difference in your life, others'
lives; "and; on the job.
-* I japk at possibilities of chang
ing Or- Improving your job responsi
bilities tbij-you are not pleased
with; 4}t<&rfrine the best approach
and ri$ults desired. Take action in
making necessary improvements.
-? ? ? * *
? Use the successes you have
encountered on-the-job as stepping
stones for additional successes. You
can expand upon these successes
and look at ways to get more
"mileage1' out of these. Think about
ways to work smarter instead of
harder. If you have a good founda
tion of successful things, build more
upon these things rather than
stretching yourself thinly.
Often times, people and bosses
will hot admit you are doing a good
picnic in the mountains, have a
cuukoul Willi everyone sharing with
the preparations. You may want to
spend this last summer leisure
weekend at the beach, or play golf
withJriends. Maybe jikt spending a
nice quiet weekend at home "suits
your fancy."
However you spend the holiday
weekend be thankful of the day
Remember if you feel like you are
having a hard time and have to
work constantly, think about your

job but know when you have done
well and document the progress and
outcome.
~ This Labor Day as you reflect
upon your job and successes reap
the fruits of your labor by enjoying
, the day. Say to yourself this- Sep
tember 5th is my day to do some
things not job related. You may
want to go to a good movie, have a
I
ancestors. They did not have the
conveniences we have today. They
did not have the computers, cellular
phones, calculators and high tech
nology. They did a lot of manual
work and some of our ancestors
were brilliant people and many of
them laid the foundation to make
things easier for us of which we
should be proud. _
