I live in Florida which was the first right to work state in America, so I see how it hurts working families everyday.

This was in the early fifties, when I was primary school age. My mom was from a very liberal Scandinavian background. Her father had come from a large, successful Norwegian family who split some wheat farms and lumber mills in Saskatchewan, Canada (originally from Minnesota) among their numerous children. My maternal grandfather lost his share in a garage and car dealership during the Depression. My dad's family, German and Austrian immigrants owned and farmed for themselves, a good deal of family-supporting land (not a very big farm) but the background ; many had worked in the mines, is still a bit of a mystery. My Dad dropped out of high school in WWII, but could understand complicated math that made me crazy. He was a PPG glassworker in good union days, but nothing steelworkers
