[quote=Anonymous]Night shift in a foundry. 12 hours on a sweltering factory floor, going home at dawn covered in finely powdered graphite. Every time I blew my nose, the tissue was black. The bathtub had a constant black film on it, impossible to remove. I had to throw away all the clothes I had that summer. I have huge amounts of sympathy for the working poor. I was a college kid and thought that $10 an hour was good money, and knew I was out of there in a few months, but I worked alongside middle aged and older people who had been doing the job for years. A lot of single mothers who turned their kids over to their parents the minute the parents came home from their day jobs, and then parked their kids in front of the TV for much of the day, because you gotta sleep somehow. There was one very young woman who started back at three weeks post-partum. No paid maternity leave, and she couldn't afford to take any more time off than that. Probably couldn't even afford that.
