Descriptions of current and former steelworker lesbians interviewed for the book Steel closets : voices of gay, lesbian, and transgender steelworker by Anne Belay, available on the Internet Archive

Transcript:

Erin, interviewed in January 2010. A bit sloping in the shoulders and tentative in her demeanor. She wore an embroidered V-neck sweater. Probably in her early fifties.

Fern, interviewed on January 29, 2010. She was a slim Asian woman with short, spiked hair and a ready, flirtatious smile. Though tiny, she had a butch swag- ger to her walk and told stories revealing an intense pride in her work. I would guess she was in her mid-thirties.

Gail, interviewed on January 25, 2010. She is a short, stocky woman with neat gray hair. She wore blue jeans and a denim shirt advertising ISG (International Steel Group, the former owner of her mill). She had a warm smile and laughing eyes, and loved to tell stories. She was about sixty.

Harriet, interviewed on April 10, 2010. She is mixed Indian and Mexican, and very butch. She had black, feathered hair, and seemed to be in her late forties. Her boots and leather jacket had many zippers.

Isabel, interviewed in June 2010. Younger (mid-twenties) than most of the nar- rators, with a presentation somewhere between hipster and goth. She was skinny, with hair partly black and partly hot pink. Clearly not comfortable in Northwest Indiana, she fantasized about moving elsewhere.

23. Wanda, interviewed on January 26, 2011. She wore a scrupulously butch tie, sweater, and hat, along with a Bluetooth. She was a dark-complected black woman with no visible hair. Her handshake and manner of sitting established butch domi- nance immediately, as did her sideways, knowing smile. I would guess she was in her mid to late thirties.

Xena, interviewed January 31, 2011, at her home. She wore a Steelers jersey over a thermal shirt and smoked constantly. She had a dry sense of humor and a butch presentation. She had iron gray hair. Probably in her mid-forties.

Carmen, interviewed in March 2011. In her fifties, she is a black woman with dreadlocks, who has some scarring from a burn accident at the mill. She was very reserved and held her lower jaw tensely.

Danielle, interviewed on April 25, 2011. She is a big woman, with long, straight, almost stringy hair. She wore glasses and dressed casually but with lots of makeup.

Janis, interviewed July 20, 2011, at a restaurant. She wore the jacket of union electrical workers and identified as a strong union supporter. Blonde and fit, in her fifties, she had a lively demeanor, but she refused to be recorded.

Kate, interviewed in August 2011, at a bar. Relaxed and funny, she loved to talk and was full of stories about the area, the mill, family, and life. She carried herself with confidence and had a physical presence. She had medium-length gray-blonde hair.

Lupe, interviewed September 18, 2011, at a bar. She was fairly boxy in build, with short black hair and butch mannerisms. Though she was in her mid-forties, there was something very boyish and innocent about her.

Marie, interviewed October 19, 2011, at a coffee shop in Pittsburgh. She was an older woman, many years beyond the steel mill, which showed in her body and demeanor. She had medium length hair, wore jewelry and a blazer, and was prob- ably in her sixties. When she discussed her life as a steelworker, memories began to flood back, and a butch attitude accompanied them.

Do you think that steelworkers are so tough that even molten steel can’t handle them?

No, they just know the Leidenfrost effect! When a liquid comes into contact with a body significantly hotter than its boiling point, an insulating layer of steam appears between them, which protects the liquid from quickly boiling away.

When a hand is immersed in molten steel, a vapor film instantly forms on it, which protects the hand from severe burns.

Fired steelworker’s retaliation claims reinstated

Fired steelworker’s retaliation claims reinstated

A federal appeals court overturned a lower court and reinstated retaliation charges filed by a fired steelworker whose employer searched his personal cellphone.

It's been awhile since I covered up speech bubbles that went over people's bodies so I just wanted to try practicing it a bit again. I also just liked this panel and thought it could be a nice banner.

MACON, Ga. — Over 300 workers at Kumho Tire company have unionized– making them the second biggest company in recent months to join the United Steelworkers. The other is Bluebird in Peach County. Four years ago, James Golden said he needed a career change.   “I knew Kumho was a new plant, so I wanted to go somewhere I could grow,” he said. Golden says as a belt operator, he likes the job but noticed that the company could use some change too.  “With it being a new plant, there was a lot of confusion about pay, confusion about fair labor practices,” he said. “I said, ‘yeah, we definitely need a union here.’” Golden said he wanted to learn more about how to unionize and took a trip to their union hall.

"Mandat émis contre un des cing accusés," La Presse. May 31, 1933. Page 27. ---- Le juge Gustave Marin a condamné, ce matin, Aimé Fredette, A.-K. Cameron et Harry Miller, tous de l'"Eastern Steel Products Company", ainsi que Frank Mayers, alias Swerdlove, à subir leur examen volontaire sous l'accusation d'avoir, du 1er novembre 1932 au 28 février dernier, conspiré ensemble et avec d'autres personnes pour fabriquer et vendre des parties d'alambic sans avoir de permis. Andrew Baldwin, un autre officier de la même compagnie, conjointement accusé avec les quatre autres, n'a pas répondu à l'appel de son nom et son avocat, Me John-T. Hackett, déclara qu'il était retenu chez lui par la maladie; mais comme la preuve de cette assertion n'a pas été faite légalement par un médecin assermenté, le juge Marin ordonna l'émission d'un mandat d'arrestation contre Baldwin et son cautionnement sera noté jusqu'à vendredi, alors qu'il sera déclaré forfait s'il ne s'est pas présenté en Cour. Le juge Marin n'a donc pas rendu jugement dans le cas de Baldwin, vu son absence. La défense a aussitôt commencé à faire entendre ses té- moins en défense. M. Harry Miller fut le premier entendu cet avant-midi. Il déclara que, comme gérant du département des crédits, il avait mis ses initiales sur plusieurs factures se rapportant à la fabrication et à la vente de certains accessoires, mais qu'il n'eut rien à faire avec la nature de ces commandes et qu'il ne savait pas alors qu'il s'agissait de parties d'alambic.

La cause continue cet après-midi.
