As production ends Tuesday at Janesville's General Motors plant, UAW Local 95 Shop Chair John Dohner, Jr. says the workers are all in it together.

He says they'll still have monthly membership meetings and keep in contact through the Local 95 website. Dohner says when the last Tahoe comes off the line, it will be on display for UAW members during a private ceremony. He expects a lot of people at the ceremony. He says a lot of people came to see the last medium-duty truck come off the line, and this is a far more emotional event.

Scroll down to hear John Dohner, Jr. describe the end of GM production.
