2016 PHOTOCHALLENGE, WEEK 15: PORTRAITS – ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAITS.
Ferris Wheel Operator. She rotates you around stopping at various perching points while eating and drinking 50' above the ground at Betty Danger's Restaurant and Bar in NE Minneapolis.
Again, another new welcome addition to my Metal House tin robot collection. Operator Robot released in early 2014. Again, I can see some minor imperfections in paint job here and there especially on the head with quite a few dust particles stuck while being painted – as if it was painted in a very dusty workshop but that’s hand made in old fashioned way so I can live with that even though my own QC criteria would not pass the fault if I were the manufacturer. What I heard is that the company is seriously out of crews for the last few years (there is even saying that only one person is doing the whole job from running the company and manufacturing the robots all by himself – but not confirmed) so it takes ages to get the product delivered and there are inconsistencies of finishes. Well, I guess it is the charm of human touch. The robot is approx. 11.2 inches tall.

Telephone operators, often known as “Gannon’s girls” for leader Mary Gannon, are shown during a strike meeting at Turner’s Arena circa 1945.
Gannon served as national chair of the National Federation of Telephone Workers and was an early advocate of equal pay for women. Gannon was outraged to find that the highest pay for a woman clerk was lower than the starting pay for a man doing substantially the same job.
Gannon was one of probably two woman leading a major local union in Washington during that period (Margaret Gilmore at the Bureau of Engraving was another). While the laundry workers and cafeteria workers unions were composed primarily of women, they were led by men.
Gannon led a one-day sympathy strike during World War II that disrupted communications across the country, including cutting off long distance service into the White House. It was centered around the issue of the giant “Ma Bell” importing workers at a higher pay rate than local operators in Dayton, Ohio. At least five other cities joined the walkout.
Gannon would lead the union on strike for eight days in 1946, calling for “an eight-day continuous meeting.” That strike centered on “sweatshop practices” like rules that read, “Do not change your headset from one ear to the other without calling a supervisor,” and “Don’t take an aspirin without being relieved from your position.”
The NFTW was an independent union composed of autonomous locals.
Eleanor Jane Palmer, the secretary-treasurer of the local union at the time recalled later how Gannon worked to aid telephone workers around the country and begin to form the basis for a true national union:
“Whenever anybody in the country was out! [on strike] I remember at one time in St. Louis the traffic girls were trying to get some air conditioning put in, and the only thing the company would offer were the tubs of ice. You’ve heard about them. In order to get some satisfaction on their grievance, they could have had a work stoppage, but they weren’t in the prime position where they were really disturbing the country or upsetting the country. So what they did was call to Washington and ask our president if she could give them some help.”
In 1946 the NFTW cobbled together 17 local unions with expired contracts (many had been on day-to-day extensions) and called a nationwide strike. AT&T settled before the strike began and the union gained the first national agreement in the telephone industry..
The following year, AT&T forced the NFTW into a strike. AT&T refused to negotiate a nationwide agreement and only offered a wage increase after workers had been on strike for three weeks. Four weeks into the strike, 17 contracts had been signed. The nationwide strike collapsed and it marked the end of the NFTW.
However, the local operators continued their strike until May 18, 1947, holding out for written guarantees that there would be no reprisals. With the operators ready to go back to work, Gannon led the operators to refuse to cross the picket lines of Western Electric workers until that unit settled later that day.
In June 1947, the Communications Workers of America (CWA) was formed as a national union with a stronger national structure, incorporating most of the locals of the NFTW.
Gannon led the local operators union from the time it was a company union in 1935 through militant strikes in the 1940s and up until 1950--after the Communications Workers of America was formed.
She led approximately 200 strikes—most for an hour or two—during her career, Many of the strikes were sympathy strikes helping other telephone unions around the country and helping to lay the basis for a national union.
She was in the late stages of pregnancy with her son Tommy during the six-week 1947 strike, and put in the long hours and picket duty required of a union leader. Her son was born shortly after the strike collapsed.
Gannon said of her decision to resign at age 38 in 1950, “I was torn between two children, for I feel like the union was my child too. But in the end I felt like I must give more attention to Tommy.”
During her tenure, the telephone operators were often known as “Gannon’s girls” by local news reporters.
