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.

Correspondence

Yesterday I mailed out three dozen letters to various construction union Locals around the country asking them to post a note about this project so that their workers can be interviewed. Most of the UA workers at San Onofre were actually travelers from other areas; many were from California but quite a few were not. This story can't be told without their voices.
