[QUOTE="rod, post: 614951, member: 5382"] I was watching a program on our local Public Television station today that was showing how things were before the iron mines were unionized and they said that in the pre union days the miners were only paid for hours that they were actually loading iron ore. Anything else such as the half hour or more trip down into the mine or shoaring up the tunnels so they didn't cave in on them was "off the clock". They also had to buy their own candles, shovels and other mining tools- from the company store. (Sorry- now I picture some UPS big nut sitting at a desk in Atlanta saying- "Damn, that sounds like a good idea") [/QUOTE]
