Dear: Sr. or Madam
Thank you for taking time to review my resume.
Over the years I have worked under the UAW, AFLCIO, and Teamsters, I have been a
Supervisor, Lead man and Project coordinator dealing with UAW, AFLCIO, IBEW
and Steelworkers Union.
I am currently employed with Sivyer Steel in Bettendorf IA as the 3rd Shift
Maintenance Supervisor. This company is listed for sale. The work load here is very
inconsistent; therefore a future here is very questionable.
While at John Deere Foundry and with Sivyer Steel I have worked extensively with
preventive maintenance programs. Having owned my own company, I understand just
how important the stream lining of production is, as well as the elimination of waste
to achieve cost reduction.
If you have questions, please call me at 309-***-****. I look forward to hearing
from you soon.
Sincerely,
James T. Suggs
