    A brief history of the workingman By Curt Andersen
    News-Chronicle
    During the early 1900s my grandfather was a union organizer for the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad. This was a dangerous time for anyone to be a union organizer. The railroads also hired thugs and bullyboys to keep their workers 'in their place.' Someone stood up and got their head thumped so you could have a decent wage with decent hours and time off for sickness and vacation.
