CAW workers help New Orleans rebuild - By TONY VAN ALPHEN, Toronto Star, Canada
Terry Weymouth could have been working last week in her neat, comfortable, climate-controlled office in Toronto at the headquarters of the Canadian Auto Workers union.
Instead, the union education co-ordinator for skilled tradespeople was busy installing wiring and electrical distribution panels in a small house at 1908 Alvar Street in New Orleans, almost a year after Hurricane Katrina wiped out most of the southern U.S. city.
Weymouth, 48, exchanged her pencil and computer for work gloves, wire cutters screwdrivers and a ten-hour work day in stifling heat in the gutted homes of the city's poorest section — the Ninth Ward.
She received no pay.------------------------------------------- posted 5:56 AM :: reference link ::
