BATH, Maine (AP) The Machinists Union is providing more than $61,000 to help a shipbuilder recover from a gruesome injury at Bath Iron Works.
Garrett Bailey, who was injured on Jan. 23, showed up to offer his thanks in person on Thursday. The contributions came from a collection from Machinists Local S6 and a GoFundME page set up by the union.
Bailey, a rigger, was critically injured when a hook attached to a crane hit him in the jaw. He lost an eye and underwent multiple surgeries.
