The Union Man and the American Worker portrait
Newsweek profiles a 32 year old auto plant layout inspector to illustrate how typical union members live and vote. He earns 108 to 140 weekly, plus 40 to 50 monthly for catering work, and owns a $17,000 house with a midrange car and life insurance. He is a Democrat with reservations about a 30 hour week and has a pragmatic, conservative outlook. The piece examines how such workers form the core of organized labor today and how open they are to union leadership mandates. Additional local notes mention Hillsboro residents and social visits in Baltimore and Chester.
