`Power plant strike at Boston Edison (Everett)`

They had just finished a strike about four or five years before, in the late 1980s, and typically today what happens when you have a strike in a critical facility, they'll make the management people come in and start running the plant. One of my favorite stories on that is the power plant right across from the new Wynn casino over here at Everett, used to be owned by Boston Edison, now it's probably National Grid or somebody. They had a strike and they brought in people from downtown, and one of the engineers from downtown — "I used to design things for the plants" — comes in, he's now got to go up and down this ten-story building to do the work, to turn the valves and everything. He walks in and he says, boy it sure is big as he looks up at this huge boiler. And the foreman, who's one of the regular workers in the plant, says, well, you designed it.
