Many Polish immigrants and their sons worked at American Steel and Wire in Worcester . The jobs there did not require a lot of specialized training and paid poorly . Immigrants were often grateful to have jobs, even if the work was hard and the wages low . My grandfather, Michael Danko, also worked at American Steel and Wire.
