San Onofre Workers

If you worked on the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in any UA classification during the construction phases of any of the units, or if you worked for any of the contractors or the utility, we invite you to participate in this project. We are recording and transcribing interviews now and would be happy to include your voice. We intend to compile as many interviews as possible for this project, and then create a written product--a research paper or perhaps a book on the subject. All participants will receive a transcript of their interview and, depending on the end product, may find themselves appearing in print. If you wish to sign on to this enterprise, please contact Michael McGrorty, email backwage@aol.com.

Why San Onofre?

I decided to record the work and life histories of the UA workers on the San Onofre projects after hearing so many of the union brothers and sisters talk about their work there, and upon finding that, of all the many books and articles about the plant, none gave more than a casual mention of the people who actually built the facility. This project asks those people to tell their stories.
