WEBVTT 00:00:02.000 --> 00:01:32.000 Charner C.: And the people that was joining them and all like that, they would get fired and everything like that and I wouldn't take it. But after I heard him make a speech up there in West Field on a platform, he said the union. He said he knows men in the Mill come out the Mill now. Living now and they're getting a pension and it don't even come to 30 dollars. Getting a pension and don't even come to 30 dollars. That's what he said. This man speak like that and he said a lot of people working there now. He said, you joined that union. You see a lot of people coming like me. They, they thought the company could fire, you know, by, by joining this. You know what I mean? He said the company can't fire you a bit more than I can. One of the best things you get, get in that Union. All that-- a lot of you of course didn't join and didn't belong to it, just like me. You know, they didn't know. He said, join that Union. And after I heard him speak, I went on and joined. Peter Gottlieb: Was that the CIO Union? Charner C.: Yeah. Gottlieb: Hadn't there been another union there a little bit before the CIO union? The Amalgamated-- 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:42.000 Charner C.: There was a union way years ago, before I came here. I don't know what that was, but. But that was out of existence, this time. At this time. Yeah. 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.000 Gottlieb: You don't remember any lodge called the spirit of 1892 then? In the Mill? 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:56.000 Charner C.: Nah, I don't remember that. No. Maybe that was before I came. 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:03.000 Gottlieb: Well, those are all the questions that I had to ask you. If you think I've left anything out that would be important for me to know about I'd appreciate you telling me. 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:28.000 Charner C.: And I'm just thinking now. I'm just thinking, now. [unintelligible]. I don't know of anything else. 00:02:28.000 --> 00:03:28.000 Gottlieb: Well I'm almost out of tape anyway. So thank you very much.
