More Perfect Union (9780061760228) - Plot & Excerpts
As far as I could see, Death in Drydock was pretty much in the can, but I had still not been officially dismissed. I headed for the coffee station where I found Woody Carroll seated on a folding chair leaning back against the building. He was drinking coffee from a styrofoam cup and holding a newspaper in his lap. Several members of the Lake Union Drydock crew were gathered around and involved in a heated debate. “I’d never let my wife work at a job like that. Never in a million years.” The comment came from a long-haired type in grubby overalls. Several of the group nodded in agreement while another hooted with laughter. “Come on, George, admit it. You couldn’t stand it if your old lady made more money than you, that’s all.” “It’s not that,” George insisted. “It’s too damn dangerous for everyone else on the job. Women aren’t strong enough. They got no business goin’ where they’re not wanted.” I edged my way over to where Woody was sitting. “What are they talking about?”
