Omaha Steve's Labor Group

owned the company. He was supportive of the family, especially the elderly, but at work was one powerful and scary dude.

On edit: did on a Google dive on my relation. The family never knew the details of his business. It's a horror story. The threats to union organizers and the dismissals, the hiring of "permanent part-time workers" (who were hired simply to vote anti-union) under-handed tactics, lies, doctored documents, etc.

The kicker: when his tactics were brought to court and sued as unfair labor practices, it was his client -- the company who hired him -- who paid all legal fees and fines.

His father was a staunch union man, too. He worked for unionized railroads -- money that sent his son to law school.
