Both he and his cousin followed the paternal tradition of working in Everleigh's workshops.
In this interview Stan talks about the 6am starts at Everleigh, the cooked breakfasts mid morning and the long days in the very busy workshops. Very little concern was placed on safety, Stans says. Asbestos was everywhere in the workshops, and recalls several men had to share one bucket to wash and a token system to use toilets.
Stan remembers Redfern as a place where neighbours helped each other out, and notes families grew closer through the 1917 strike.
Stan’s mother was part of the anti-conscription campaign, and Stan remembers going to meetings with her.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYesBorn digital itemNo
