I liked this added facet to Lenny’s personality. Not just some guy in a warehouse pushing a dolly. And yeah, today even more than then, big corporations are making it harder and harder to survive on the meager wages and benefits they’re doling out, I’m very thankful for unions and union organizers.
I remember living in the area I went to college, until finally most of my college friends moved away. It made me sad. Than I left too (and left one or two behind who may have been thinking the same thing).
