One of the rock farms I worked was a hard rock quarry. blowin' $hit up, the whole deal. The Nuke plant nearby had a rough winter the previous year and their breakwater protecting their seawater supply and discharge were having a rough go of it. They had to get it repaired "We need more rip rap! We'll pay!" says PG&E. We worked 7 12s that entire summer, until Labor Day. They drew the line at paying the triple time wages for working a holiday again. They paid us the triple time for July 4th, but apparently the bean counters objected to doing that again. :lol: Only day we had off that whole summer.
