"Dirty Jobs" host Mike Rowe writes on his Web site about his experience in the glass factory, mentioning the USW:

"...True, I did see a lot of precious little trinkets that brought back a flood of troubling memories but watching them get made was a revelation. As was meeting the people who made them – people like Frank Workman.
 
Frank lives up to both his names and does things with magma you’ll need to see to believe. Many other employees at Fenton are in the steelworkers union, and look like it. They spend long days pulling thick wads of blistering lava out of giant kilns with mysterious tools that take decades to master. They do incredibly difficult things with amazing ease and dexterity. They laugh and sing and cuss a little, but care deeply about their work. The whole scene is a chaotic, but perfectly choreographed dance and I loved every minute of it."
