Dec 2017

in Visual Display and the company was downsizing in 1993. However, there was a cut in pay but not benefits. I was called into the manager's office and reprimanded regarding someone overhearing me during a legal break in the lounge that we should form a union. The store closed and I changed careers (paid for by my own hard earned savings and Clinton's expanded unemployment payments from 6 months to a year). I became a teacher and one main reason was due to their union.
I then worked 50+ hours a week and was constantly sick from kids' germs but at least I had a union backing me.
