This is the story of a young man coming home from the lazy, regimented, army life to once again find himself working in a grimy welding shop and becoming involved in union activity. His working life began at the age of 13, living through the Great Depression of the 1920s and 1930s.
The union is an economic organization that brings together people of all political affiliation, religions, races, and ideologies into one common organization to fight for the betterment of the working man.
Those familiar with trade unions and those not should get something from reading this fascinating and enlightening book. They might find it interesting, the comparison of unions and working conditions today with those of the 1940s and 1950s.
I have tried to weave in my personal life with the working and union stories at GE. I believe this provides more clarity about the conditions and times, the struggle we had in order to gain some respect for the workers.
I now find myself in another economic disaster involving the credit system, but also caused by housing developers. No one sees the end of the disaster that is now world-wide. Working people will again, have to fight for justice, equality and democracy.
