Patrick Zopf is the owner and a barber and takes pride in carrying on Jerry's legacy.
"I got my hair cut here. Since I was in fourth grade," Zopf said.
While the fight against the big three continues for UAW Patrick has decided to do his part and give back.
"My wife has worked for GM, like I said, for almost 29 years," Zopf said.
So, Patrick and his staff are opening their chairs and turn their clippers on once again to give out free haircuts for not just UAW workers..
"The suppliers GM, the strikers it affects more than just the GM workers. So, we branched it out to anybody that it affects that needs a haircut we take care of them. No questions asked," Zopf said.
No questions asked and you don't have to worry about being embarrassed.

"The unions have really been the backbone of the, you know, middle class America. So gotta stand together," Zopf said.
