I worked for Dick in the carpenter gang at Algoma Steel. He was fair to me. My partner and I were forced to work double shifts 4 times in a row and we were very tired. I told the masonry foreman we were tired and he needed to let us know early in the shift so we could call out two other men. He did not and called us again at 10.40pm and tried to make us stay again. I refused. I could have been fired for that. When I told Dick, he stood up for us and said he would phone over to the gen. foreman of masonry and make sure they did not try to do that again. thanks Dick.
