Labor Day. Beautiful day. Our family all here and Earl, Lillian and Bob. We went up to the tower after dinner. So nice up there.
Comment: Labor Day and the Unions represented were a big part of our lives. The Interstate Highway System was still under way and that was mostly union construction jobs. I was a Common Laborer, Hod Carrier and a Teamster. Dad and David were Operating Engineers and LaVerne was a teamster. I drove and labored on Union and non-union jobs and I'll pick union everytime in terms of job safety, working conditions and plain courtesy...also the pay was usually better with strict overtime rules.....
