| Description: |
Tom worked for 37 years as a fabricator in the structural steel business in Philadelphia. When he began, he was paid a dollar an hour. He was a member of the union of local iron workers for 32 years. After twenty-five years of work at the same company, he became a foreman and then a superintendent. Tom's company had to close down when others shops lowered prices and ran the Philadelphia steel companies out of business.
