I've used Connie as the pseudonym for my father. Then rearranged names and places to conceal my ideas of how he delt with the family and his job / career while heading an independent Labor Union. He was raised in a strong labor movement household and was strongly opposed to large international unions where he felt the independent union would be just another clog in the wheel of the giant organization with no autonomy or say in contract negotiations. This is the story of politics in New York City from the 1920's to the late 1950's. The history is slanted from his point of view but realistically accurate. My story moves alone with the trials and tribulations of all immigrant families dealing with both outside influences and the family's resistant to change. The one difference from most other immigrants was the lack of the language barrier. Although there were some who would dispute that.
