It would have been so much easier to look the other way (as many of us do about child labor in other countries), but many fought like hell for the living. And we are grateful to them.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-65024058086883135642008-09-02T20:30:00.000-04:002008-09-02T20:30:00.000-04:00Great post.

All too many forget that the organized unions were one of the first real signs of progress for workers who were victims of oppression by manufacturers in this country. It's unfortunate that "unions" have, by and large, fallen by the wayside and a lot of "corporations" are NOT truly favorable to low-wage workers.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061381516154992999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-16523008623479298392008-09-02T16:21:00.000-04:002008-09-02T16:21:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Virginia Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724036765002243807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-57162340564552882412008-09-02T09:38:00.000-04:002008-09-02T09:38:00.000-04:00Carolyn: What a nice tribute post.Carolyn: What a nice tribute post.This Is My Blog - fishing guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826128050970967135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-22753419415267396222008-09-02T08:48:00.000-04:002008-09-02T08:48:00.000-04:00She was quite a woman.
