Well, I am an old Fruit of the Loom retired employee. I worked 27 years there and my mom worked there 23, my husband worked there 23 and for the life of me I do not see where a union would have made our jobs any better. The company was very lenient when we had sickness in our families, they did have us to do piece work production but if you worked at all production was not that hard to make your quota for the day. Workers got numerous smoke breaks, coffee breaks and no supervisor breathed down your shirt collar. No boss walking around pushing you all day long, people had fun and worked and we appreciated our jobs. Now the factories of today are quite different, they have more stricter rules to follow and do not have that laid back atmosphere. When you worked at Fruit your co-workers were like your family. I really don't see how a UNION would have made things any better in Campbellsville. --Mary Ann Brown
