My old man finally found a job!
My dad is one of the sugar processing workers who have been locked out by American Crystal Sugar for a year now. He finally found a new job and it is even better than his old one. He will be working at a factory that makes parts for vehicles and machines. It's a unionized shop and offers excellent pay and benifits.
I'm surprised there are still mechanical parts factories still in this country, I would have thought they had all been outsourced!

That is truly miraculous. Usually older workers have an awful time getting jobs, and people who've been unemployed for a long time are also discriminated against.
I think your dad must be something special!
I am truly shocked and amazed how such a good job he got.
He's a Labor Dem and raised me accordingly. he did a good job. 
Congrats to him again...
Excellent news. 
Your pride in him proves you're a damned good kid, too!
