In 1950 he was a worker at the Riga bone-processing plant, and in 1950–1951 he worked as a cutter at the glass factory “Kommunar.” In 1952–1954 he was employed in the Riga artel “Dzimtene.” In 1955 he worked at Riga Paper Factory No. 2, and in 1956 as a general laborer at Riga repair and construction office No. 29. From 1956 to 1960 he again worked in the artel “Dzimtene,” later reorganized into the artels “Baltija” and “Promprodukt.” In 1960–1961 he worked as a concrete worker in the Riga road construction administration, and from 1961 to 1971 as a loader in the transport department of the “Rigaselmaš” factory.
