2. I'm glad she followed up with this documentary

Even though it is 1-1/2 hrs. long, I'll have to admit it, I watched it twice!

It was fun watching this and it made me remember those times. In fact, I briefly worked for Blue Shield for $2.00 an hr.

It was a "Union" job supposedly and it was a room filled with mostly black women that had been doing this for many years behind typewriters. And there I was among-st them, all 18 years old of me.

It took me 2 hrs. to get there and I was LATE the second day on the job. I lasted two weeks and quit.

I felt sorry for the women that had been there for most of their lives.

I think that things have changed a bit but not as much as some of us had hoped.

This is not to be confused with the movie 9 to 5 from the 1970s. Many that I've shared this with say, "I saw that a long time ago".

It is a whole different perspective on it and I'm glad that Jane Fonda opted to do this once again.

Thanks for your thoughts on this!
