To: whatdidyousay, You are right, each person has to look at their own lives to decide if they should reitire, when they have their 30 years in. But, with nearly 40 years in does Jerry really need to keep working. He has his pension, why does he want the job? Is it because he misses the grievance settlements that he always negotitated for himself at contract time, which amounted to thousands of dollars? If you were really a rep in the plant, you know that this is true.
You were also the one who made the statement earlier, that the younger senority people didn't know what a good shopchairperson looked like. Well,I too worked under several of them and there has only been one, who was in it for personal greed, Jerry. The others,including Dohner have all wanted the job because they wanted to help the membership.
If you attended yor membership meetings you would also know that when Jerry is out of office, he only come's to membership meetings in an attempt to try and make the shopchairperson in office, look bad.
Finally, if you were a rep, you would know that bosslady96 has heard the second hand information right, the cushion line on both shifts was lost to Lear under Jerry's watch. You would also know that Jerry's son was one of the first hired into to Lear. So go figure
