I started working at Domino 1989 after working as a butcher for 17 years. The company moved to Ohio. My first job at Domino was a cleaner in the raw sugar department, also called the wash house. This is where we wash the raw sugar that comes off the ship. From the wash house it goes to the filter house and is filtered through char on the fifth floor. After many years the wash house was automated. I was sent to scratch filters. After many years the company closes the filter house and started shipping the syrup by barge from their Baltimore plant. Then we went on strike. I was one of the workers that went back to work during the strike. I went to work in the shipping department driving a forklift until the company closed. All the promises by the two Cuban brothers that they would not close the plant was just a lie. Domino was a great place to work and I miss not working. Right now I am retired and looking for a job.
