Mary Secor does not work in the auto industry, but she came to the Bay City, Michigan rally to support the auto workers here.
Mary worked as an injury prevention technician at a local hospital until December 2008, when the grant money that funded her position dried up and she was let go. She sees her lost job as a victim of the manufacturing jobs losses happening around the country.
And while Mary is thankful that her husband still has a job as a firefighter, he could be next. Though he’s been working in Bay City for more than 20 years, Mary says that if the local Powertrain plant fails, his job could be on the chopping block next.
