THE STRIKE IS OVER!!!

Dave woke me in the early morning hours to tell me that he had read this Detroit Free Press article

The strike is finally over@!! You do not know how happy this makes us! God answers prayers I tell you. I prayed that the Lord would make this the final week as it was coming down to the wire for us. He heard me and answered --thank you!!!! Now we just have to find out the details and the members will have to vote, but it looks like they will. Wages will be cut, depending on your level. Dave is a jobsetter (he fixes the line when it goes down) and is considered a Q5. He will receive the higher of the production worker's wage which is still a big cut for us as a one-income family. We'll just have to come up with a future plan on what we're going to do -- Dave go back to school and while I go back to work. I'm just elated that we have seen the end of these uncertain days which lasted just about 12 weeks! Oh, happy day!!! :D
