Stepping Up In the Union
I was lucky enough to be born in a family that knew unions. Hearing about unions and being active in a union are two different things.
My daughter is the oldest of my two children. Before she went to kindergarten in 1986, I worked half-time during the swing shift from 4:30 to 11:30 PM, Monday to Friday, at a manufacturing plant in Eden Prairie. The plant was Birchwood Labs, and made medical products and produced other sizes of swabs, ultrasound gel, special medical dyes, medical sterile wipes, gun oil, and easter egg dye.
