Tony Budak M.S. CED’s Summary

Tony Budak: I was born in 1942 in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2004, after 40 years and 6 months of service, I retired from Delphi Packard Automotive, who had acquired Packard from General Motors in 1999.

In 1966 I was drafted in to the Army. At first, I served as an honor guard at Fort Monroe, Virginia. I was then transferred to Korat, Thailand, where the American military maintained a huge presence. In Thailand, I served as a Military Police Investigator assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division, US Army Thailand. I was honorably discharged in 1968 and met my obligation to be on call for the National Guard for 4 more years, as was required at that time.

After returning from my active duty, I became a department supervisor over three shifts and 190 people. In 1973, I left management and returned to the shop floor. I became active in the Union, and was eventually elected to IUE 717's Executive Board, holding that office 13 years.

I received a Masters of Science in Community Economic Development, from New Hampshire College in 1991, with the support of my family.

In 1996 I was elected Sub Chairman B. As Sub Chair, I was responsible for enforcing the contract between IUE-CWA Local 717 and Delphi Packard Electric General Motors.

Currently I’m organizing a TimeBank service exchange community.

When ever possible there is always time with my family, and lastly I keep in touch with the labor movement on and off line.
