A widower from Dhaka, Bangladesh, Mr. Alam was a civil servant before he moved to the United States in 2007 to be closer to one of his two children, a married daughter who lives on Long Island. He said his home is a basement apartment with five other men in Parkchester, in the Bronx. For his room he pays $500 a month in rent, he said, speaking in Bengali. His fruit stand shifts are 12 hours long, four days a week; for each hour on his feet, in all weather, the owner pays him $12. His English is limited mostly to the prices and names of his wares — apples, three for $2; small pears, $1 each.

Comprehending the typo, that's a fun fact. Idk much about the real-life inspirations of his character

This Labour Day weekend, let’s all remember that without unions there would be no weekends.
