When I was eighteen I became eligible to get a union card,
which meant I could get a full-time summer job with better
pay (I continued to work at Sickser’s during the Christmas
season). I joined the International Brotherhood of Teamsters’
Local 812, the Soft Drink Workers Union. Every morning I
went downtown to the union hall to stand in line to get a day’s
work as a helper on a soft-drink truck. It was hard work, and I
became an expert at tossing wooden twenty-four-bottle Coca-
Cola cases by grabbing a corner bottle without breaking it.
After a few weeks, the foreman noticed my work and asked
if I’d like to try driving a Coke truck. Since I was a teamster, I
had a chauffeur’s license and was authorized to drive a truck.
The problem was that I had never driven a truck in my life.
But, hey, why not? It paid better.
