The ones being paid were feeding their family's, they were flippin' heros. A lot of the textile industry kids came out of orphanages, pay or not the job would be psychologically positive. Plus, they were out of the orphanage!

They're in litigation trying to shut it down and contract the work out. They had a full machine shop and Blacksmith shop for many years but they shut them down. They loaded all that valuable machinery, forges, anvils and tooling into gondolas and shipped it off for scrap. The union has screwy rules for who does what. the machine work was done by maintenance men. The fab shop only does big steel work shearing, braking and welding. They can shear 3/4" HR.

Always looking for a way to make a little money, he and his brothers got caught by a R/R inspector taking used railroad ties from the right of way…2X. A “play” on the pronunciation of a fake name they gave the inspector, Johnson vs Johnston, got them out of trouble with the R/R the second time 😁 Last edited by navlav8r; 06/29/22.
