I invented tools to make the job work, handed the prints over to the maintenance department to create them, then tested them and revised them.
  • The reason for the short time span, honestly, we tried to get the Autoworkers Union in to bargain for us. At one point, we were working 70 hour weeks. The entire third shift (my shift) was fired. Lawsuits were filed in federal court. Mine did not go through so I cut ties and found my next job.
