Today my partner and I did a “union to union” walk in Palmerton. We visited homes where a voter was also union member. We explained that we were there on behalf of the Carbon County Labor Chapter, AFL-CIO, and that the Chapter had endorsed Charlie Getz and Bill O’Gurek for County Commissioner.
Yesterday I did the same thing in Nesquehoning. This weekend was the first time I have ever gone door-to-door for a candidate where I only received positive feedback. Today, in fact, a young ironworker shook my hand. My partner had a similar experience. In all my years of precinct walking, I have never before had anyone shake my hand.
I feel like breaking into a rousing chorus of “Solidarity Forever.” It’s a nice feeling.
