August ‘Augie’ Sallas, who headed printers union, ‘knew a lot of people,’ dead at 86

When a teacher once asked one of August “Augie” Sallas’ kids what his father did for a living, the answer was: “He’s a picket.”

That was because he’d often hear his dad tell his mom as he walked out the door, “Honey, I’m going to go picket.”
