I worked down at the mill since 1972 while in high school until 2001. I worked in about every department. I hired in at a bad time, the country was in a recession and so I was stuck in the labor pool for 5 years before I could get a bid. 2 years later I bid in the overhead cranes and got laid off 23 weeks later and back in the labor pool for years off and on. I worked in the furnace dept a few times. Some of this is my video, some of it was passed around and I don’t know whose it is.
