Since 1970 he has been a works council member, since 1996 works council chairman and deputy general works council chairman , executive member of the European works council of General Motors and a member of the supervisory board .

In May 1983, had secret service trying Jaszczyk as undercover agent to recruit, which he refused. At the follow-up meeting there were fights. Jaszczyk unmasked his real name on the basis of a found lottery ticket. In the following year Jaszczyk was sentenced to a fine of 6000 D-Marks for dangerous bodily harm and coercion . Due to the vote buying affair in the works council, he resigned from all offices on June 3, 2002.

Thomas van Zütphen described Jaszczykal in Focus in October 2004 as “a prototype of the Ruhr area, as if cast for the interests of workers”. In December 2004, Martin Teigeler and Klaus Jansen wrote in the taz : "During the strike, an unruly pensioner became a media figure."

He was considered the WASG's best speaker, but left it again after a short time.
