Brian Keating: My grandfather retired from Local 38, and my uncle got me in the trade. I worked for a while driving a tow truck: low wages, no pay, no benefits, no future. I could see how my grandfather and the rest of my family were living, and I wanted to provide the same for my son. You get to work with your hands, do honest work, and put things together.
