In Wisconsin, you never know when the snow will start coming. It could be November, December, or January. Or if something is very wrong, you might not get any snow at all. I remember working for the City Of Delavan, back in the early 90's when I had to work 32 hours straight with out sleep. That only happened one year. I thought I was going to be there for ever. The snow never stopped! We had a big crew at that time. I remember the boss at that time had to load trucks at the same time everyone else was still plowing. We had no room to put snow in the down town area. At that time we were union, and the boss was not supposted to run any of the equipment because he was not union. But it had to be done. I know that if you tried to tell that to anyone today, they would not believe it. There is only about 4 of us alive yet to remember that awful year. I think it was 1989 or 1990, but not sure. But I was new to the job back then, and I had second thoughts about working there many times. It was a strange place to work. All the people were really weird. Nothing that I was used to. Everything back then seem to me like you were working in slow motion. But that was how union worked at that time. And now they wonder why we lost the union. I will let you be the judge. We lost the union after Scott Walker became governor. And he said he would not break the union, all he wanted was 12% of our wages to be put into our health plan is all, so we fought it for a long time and lost. And after he won his case, we lost all power of our bargaining rights, just like we thought! But I don't think it was to bad because at that time we vwere going threw many city administrators at that time. So it only made it, to never get a raise for the rest of my time left working at the city. So I retired at the age of 62.
