As Bellarmine University President Joseph McGowan held a reception in a tent on his front lawn recently, United Steelworkers greeted alumni at the foot of his long driveway.
Glenview police arrived to warn union members they were impeding traffic. In jeans, a T-shirt and baseball cap, labor lawyer Herb Segal reminded police why it is legal to pass out handbills on a public road.
Then, the 84-year-old Segal defused the situation.
He asked police "if they knew I represented the first Fraternal Order of Police lodge in Kentucky, in Covington."
As the hour-long protest wound down, Segal drove two miles up River Road to his own winding driveway and rustic French Provincial home -- capping another day for the anti-establishment lawyer who has been around so long that he is part of the establishment.
"He will die in harness," Segal's daughter, Troy Segal, said of her father, who next year will celebrate 60 years representing workers. "My father will always be practicing law."
