I was a lucky one that retired and can still bait my hook. Stelco was good to me, gave me a job and made me what I am today. In the later years things went down hill because of management, and things got bad. It's bad when the workers thought more about the place than management. I for one will admit there was a few bad apples that made us guys look bad, the legit ones that were hurting and still went crawling in to work day or night shift weather they could or not because we needed the money. I worked with, or should I say did their share of the work because they played the game, I called them fresh air thieves. Their the ones you talk about. When I retired I had the same feeling as Chris. Chris was one of the hardiest workers in his department, his job left him in the shape he is in today. He may not say anything but the man hurts. I'm good, but I see Chris's pain, every time I see him. I'm glad I can still jump in the boat any day I want. Hope you guys under stand My point and Pic's Were not looking for sympathy,just making a point.
Now I got to get ready for the Orillia Perch festival.
