out, hung them, cut the throat and had the blood run into the drain to be processed, then started cutting (yeah - I worked my way through high school and college - and these were hard jobs to get - more likely was railroad labor where your back replaced machines and motors, or Manville's asbestos clean up, or US Steel's benzene sprayer to clean the blast furnaces, or Outboard Marine/Sears where you avoided molten drops from overhead trolleys as you climbed into broken air pressure powered slamming molding machines to clean them up befor the higher ranked crew fellow went in to fix - where after 5 hours your ears were ringing from the constant 140 DB noise level and your hands were cut by the splats of metal you try to clean out - but I kind of like following the trucks with the shit shovel and wheel barrel - or cleaning up the gates and paths - they threw straw down so it was not so slippery - God - thank God for unions)

Does IDP have a union (the GOP war on unions since 48 has, I realize, weaken their ability to protect the worker - but without them you have nothing).
