 Joene
Oyler
Trim Department operator, DaimlerChrysler
Reliability, quality
and performance are some of the traits of a great automobile. They
also can be found in great production employees. An example is Joene
Oyler, a seven-year veteran at the DaimlerChrysler casting plant in
Kokomo, Ind. Joene’s 1,250 co-workers say she stands out because of
her work ethic, positive attitude and pride in the product. Her
reliability (she never misses work), quality (she is constantly on the
lookout for ways to improve processes) and performance (she is driven
to make quality parts) inspire all of those around her.
Last January, those
co-workers voted her the plant’s employee of the year. This fall,
they nominated her for the All-Pro Team. “Joene is an excellent
employee,” says UAW Local 1166 president Pat Cooper. “She works
well with others and treats people with respect.”
Oyler steadfastly
believes that one person can make a difference, even in a huge
production facility.
“We
are all on the same team,” she says. “But as individuals, we need
to improve on a daily basis. We have to put a little of ourselves into
that product. I want people to trust in our products and buy them year
after year.”
