I paid the price for calling the union about poor work conditions...I believe the "take home" message for my experience was and still is HUMILITY. No matter what your "station" in life is, I admonish everyone to not get too comfortable----life and its situations can shift as quickly as the wind shifts. After all, my income went from a job making $50 per hour to one that made
