This is far more interesting then the title suggests -

So, these hard working men and women build man hole covers for the city of New York, a city that they will most likely never get to visit? It's such a strange thing... people in India have jobs, people in New York have infrastructure... it seems like it's a good arrangement.

Still, I feel proud that the man hole covers here were made... here. In East Jordan, to be specific.

This is the East Jordan Iron Works' Site.

I wonder what foundry workers in New York think about the Indian Man Hole covers...

I am glad that these people in India have jobs to be able to support themselves and their families. However, I just wish that the working conditions were better.
