Making protest signs in English? I hope not - illegal Mexicans are better at it.
“Are these jobs Mexicans won’t do?”
I worked for Swift back in the mid-60’s in Omaha. I was paid $5.00 an hour when (if I remember correctly) the minimum wage was $1.25. Of course being a ‘gut-shoveler’ was not the most pleasant job around. We wore hip-waders and shoveled guts into open train cars destined for the rendering plant.
No, I don’t think even a Mexican would have done that job, but this young hungry white boy sure did. I had just left home (16) and had to eat and pay rent. I wasn’t there very long and didn’t eat any beef for about six months after that.
