Welcome To Local95.org
6/24/08)- An Update from
President Brad Dutcher
The
leadership has been very busy coordinating efforts in attempts
to secure future production for our plant. Former State Senator
Tim Cullen has been appointed by the Governor to assist us in
our efforts. He has immediately had a positive impact on the
problems we currently face. I would like to thank him for
stepping up and jumping in with both feet. He is a huge asset to
me personally on the governmental side of this process.
Our “new product” team has been developed internally at the
plant. We continue to meet and brainstorm ideas pertaining to
product volumes and future
allocations. We will continue to update you on our progress.
On Tuesday June 24th, a broad based coalition of
community leaders along with representatives from all branches
of government met to develop a strategic game plan. Brett Smith,
from the Center of Automotive Research, led discussions and was
very helpful in pointing the group in the right direction. We
are in process of assigning people specific duties. The group
has decided to seek the help of an automotive consultant. He/she
will assist us in putting a package together for the
consideration of General Motors executives.
John Dohner, Jr. and the Shop Committee continue to work
daily in an attempt to secure a competitive local agreement.
They are making progress and will continue to meet until a
settlement is reached.
I am very concerned at the rate of decline in current production. This is
moving very fast and seems to be gaining speed daily. It is
extremely important to continue to come to work and build a
quality product. The eyes of those who make the decisions are on
us.
We will continue to place any information and pertinent updates on
our Local 95 Website,
www.local95.org.

A Brief
Statement from President Brad Dutcher On June 3, 2008 General Motors announced that
they will cease production at our Janesville Assembly plant by the end of
the 4th quarter 2010 or
sooner if the market demands.
We, the leadership of Local 95 along with our
entire membership are extremely disappointed in this announcement.
This decision will not only impact our members at
GM, but also at locations tied to our production such as Lear Corporation,
LSI, Allied and Aramark. We produce world class quality award winning
SUVs. We
do it everyday with pride and dignity.
I believe the last SUV to leave our assembly line
will be no different than the first.
We are committed to leave no stone unturned.
We will exhaust every avenue available in an
attempt to secure a future for our members and this community.

Press Conference.
We have been contacted by many of
our local and state legislators who have been very supportive
and have offered their assistance. Following are letters we have
received.

Letter from Senators Feingold, Kohl and
Congressman Ryan
