When
my father was young, he was interested in something about slavery . Later he
went to work in the oilfield at the frontier
,
where he found many workers working like slaves. They had
to work for more than 14 hours a day and consumed
little. Later they
went on a strike and the boss wanted to solve the problem in peace . My father
was appointed as the representative to have a talk with the boss. As a result,
their working conditions were improved.
