“Ours is the skill that keeps the Nation moving forward!”
This past Friday, May 29, 2026, after her shift ended, Nana Pepesch and her coworkers gathered to celebrate Nana’s 60 years of service at the Eaton Corporation in Lincoln, IL. Nana has been a proud Union member and Eaton employee.
Directing Business Representative Mark Grasseschi was in attendance to congratulate Nana and wished her many more years to come. It was great to see the support of Nana’s family and co-workers who attended the event to help celebrate her special day. Congratulations!
