You were a little late.  I saw it in 1967 when I visited an old Navy 
buddy living in Pittsburgh.  He didn't even graduate from high school, 
but was bragging about getting a good union job "working" in a steel 
mill.  He made $17 an hour (in 1967 dollars) supposedly "sweeping", but 
actually only did that in the last hour of the eight-hour shift. 

Hmmmm.  How many steel mills do we have left?
