It is not illegal or unsafe to be black or female in a factory. Besides
in a union shop better or qualified does not make any difference. The only
criteria is time at the job. If you had any idea how it must feel to
work with someone on a plate shear knowing he's just had a lunch of 2 jays
you might see what I mean.
