“I see you have worked with unions before.”

I had entered the military on the delayed entry program back in the lat 80’s, so I had about 7 months before I was to ship out.

I took a job at the Swift Premium Pork plant in Marshalltown, Iowa, which had a union. I had no intention of joining the union, because I would only be there a short while, and wanted to keep my money

It started off as ‘gentle reminders’ that I had not completed my union paperwork, followed by daily notes on my wall locker, followed by messages IN my wall locker, followed by being covered with flipped pieces of bloody flesh and fat when I would walk through the ‘Kill Floor’, to my tires being slashed and my car keyed.

After that, I said NO UNIONS, not now, not ever. I was 18.
