Omaha Steve's Labor Group

and no, it isnt a talking point. i was in the biz in chi, in the late 70’s. before raygun. this is shit i heard from ppl i knew. we went on strike. i was young, and i had older guys take me aside, and let me know what would happen if i crossed, tho they hoped i wouldnt get my then pretty face messed w.

heard plenty of tales from chitown old 1s, which, even w the large grain of salt i took them w, did not endear the brotherhood to me. btn the old stories, and the way i and other women were treated, how my black brothers were treated, i got a different perspective on the union. loved my job, my pay, my bennies, and didnt even mind paying my dues.
but the thugs i saw, even back then, turned my stomach.
