Bout 10 years ago,Goodyear built a new, state of the art R&D facility in Hebron Ohio. Its the little berg where National Trail Raceway is located. They were going to hire 6 maintenance man. Of course their was hundreds upon hundreds of applicants.The requirements they wanted was steep, and required electrical test,mechanical/hydraulic test and of course multiple interviews.We had 5 of our guys try to grab one of these new jobs.The new Goodyear plant was non union, but its pay grades and benefit packages matched ours, and even exceeded some areas. That damn place took 4 of our men! And good skilled labors are hard to find. One was my chief steward. He has since died of brain cancer, but the other 3 are still there. I wonder what they think of all of this.
