Description:
This America Works episode features excerpts from a longer interview with cement plant worker Jude Bejarano, who was interviewed by historian Vyta Pivo as part of a project documenting the occupational culture of Cement Workers in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley. The Lehigh Valley is considered "the birthplace of the American cement industry.” Its enormous cement plants, like the one in Evansville where Mr. Bejarano works, are filled with huge, noisy machines. He told us how he started with “basic shoveling”--because as he said, “you always start at the bottom in a cement plant,” and how he worked his way up to a job in management.
