Welcome to the GENMO Salaried Pension Organization.
Joe O'Neill Has Passed Away
Joe O'Neill was the father of GENMO. In 2008, Joe began a letter writing campaign to fight against GMCL salaried retiree benefit losses. The promised retirement benefits were disappearing with each passing year at an alarming rate.
Joe met with the folks who currently make up part of the GENMO executive at the Tartan restaurant in Oshawa in November of 2008 and helped to incorporate GENMO in January 2009. Membership meetings were held around the country wherever there were GMCL salaried retirees and GENMO grew to around 3,500 members at its peak.
When GMCL drastically cut the promised salaried life insurance Joe and GENMO drew a line in the sand; no more cuts to retiree benefits. Joe became the plaintiff in the current class action suit against GMCL. Joe and his wife Jan put their lives on hold for the benefit of the GMCL retirees.
Joe was diagnosed with ALS in January. After a courageous fight Joe passed away in Kingston on Monday May 14. We have all lost a selfless leader and a good friend. Joe will be missed.
Joe is survived by his wife Jan and his son Casey.
There will be more information to follow.
