Michael Hanley from Janesville Wisconsin drives 1000 miles each week just to hang onto his job. Hanley worked at the GM dealership in Janesville for 23 years until it shut down last year. After that he was faced with the hard choice of trying to find a job like all the other plant workers and try to make the same wage of $28/hour or follow the job to keep his pay and his benefits. In his eyes only one option, follow the job. The job now located in Fairfax Kansas is where he drives to every week, it 530 miles each way, about 16 hours of driving a week. There is a lot of stress in the family since the change in location, but he says they need the insurance due to his wife's illness that need costly treatments. Hanley just keeps in mind that if he sticks with this for another 18 months he can retire at 50 years old and take GM's retirement package and get back to spending time with his family.
That is dedication.
