unionize the nurses I work with. (read all 6 entries…)
The union called.. 3 years ago

they wanted to talk to me (it’s like talking to the mob…you want to, you know your job will find some reason to fire you, but you can’t resist).

She’ll call back Friday to see if I have anyone who is interested in talking to her.

My Uncle came to this country a poor man

He got his training as a technical surgeon. His skills were so good, that surgeons tried to get him on their surgical teams.

He joined the union, under the auspices of the Steelworkers. This was at Kaiser Hospitals in California.

Eventually, he was nominated and elected union president.

All I know is, he’s been enjoying his retirement, his daughters both went to college and are now professional educators. My uncle hops back and forth from Europe to Brasil to Mexico to California, and loves life, enjoying it to the maximum.

Learn as much as you can about the labor movement. And read “Family Honor” by George Cuomo.
