My dad is one of the sugar processing workers who have been locked out by American Crystal Sugar for a year now. He finally found a new job and it is even better than his old one. He will be working at a factory that makes parts for vehicles and machines. It's a unionized shop and offers excellent pay and benifits.
I'm surprised there are still mechanical parts factories still in this country, I would have thought they had all been outsourced!

I think your dad must be something special!
