The Bargaining Committee, membership, and retirees of Local 903 want to
thank Jim for his leadership as our District Director, and especially
for all that he does as Chairman of Dana Bargaining for the
Steelworkers. Thanks also to the team of professionals who Jim brought
in to assist us in this very difficult bankruptcy bargaining. Mike
O'Brien, Sal Aguilar, David Jury, Chad Apaliski, Leon Potok, and many
other brothers and sisters behind the scenes were absolutely essential
to this successful negotiation.
Let us never forget that without the support and solidarity of the
Union, we could be moving rapidly toward a plant closing, with no
insurance benefits for retirees. When it is our turn to support our
brothers and sisters in need, always remember that "An injury to one is
an injury to all!".
