US auto layoffs take toll on workers and their communities
A long time ago ( circa 1965 ) I had my first adolescent experience of nightmare factory work- vampire- capitalism. It was even back then an old fashioned Providence jewelry industry " sweat shop " ( literally, no air conditioning, poor ventilation, toxic glue smells, floor boss spying on " suspicious " trips to the rest room, hellish noise and the constant sound of vulgar cursing ).Even a dumb moral lesson : " You better finish High School ! "
A healthy young 18 year old working a minimum wage job on summer vacation : too exhausted after 10 hours in the factory even to read " Speeches for Socialism " , by James P. Cannon.
I never stopped loving THE COMING REVOLUTION !
