Well if you have been listening to the news
I have not so good news to say
unfortunately the UAW (Rod's work union)
has decided on a nation wide strike at of 10 am this morning
This means my husband has no job at the moment
and no what so ever medical benefits
be praying for us and the 73,000 other American workers

with the Corvette plant on strike the company loses
3 million a day just at this plant
It is the first nation wide strike during negations since
the late 70's (I think 78)
GM is going to loose billions a week

The workers stand to lose everything they have,
and everything they have worked for.

Pray for all of us

blessings

Angie, I heard about this earlier. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as well as my extended family.

Hopefully, they will keep communications open and keep going to the table.

Take care,

Unfortunately the bargaining table is closed. No negations until next Monday. We just herd about 20 mins ago from our union hall.Tomorow morning Carl is to walk the picket line and fortunately Rod has other duties to be fulfilled later next week. And yes pray for everyone some people will have it much worse than us.

This is so scary Rod has never been without a job or on strike before. a

Hang in there A. Hopefully, the strike won't last too long. They are meeting and bargaining almost every hour, including this morning.

Yeah we got some conflicting news yesterday the local said no meeting until Monday then on the news they said they were. I'll know more here in a bit Carl just left to start his picket duty so he will call if there is any news but it's great they went back to the table.a

Very sadly I will not get to see my clipie man until Sunday. Last night my sisters basement flooded and my b-i-l had to come up this morning. And you know what bites the very most? I did beat his high score on royal tiles and he wont even get to see it. My sisters sunk pump went out because her electric went out in the middle of a torrential down pour. Many roads were flooded and closed (I had to cross a road that had some water over it. Don't freak my dad was in his car behind me (I was driving a big huge Tahoe) and I could see the lines on the road when I crossed and I remember the saying "turn around don't drown" or what ever it is). So at 10:30 last night I made a wally run and to make a very long story short at 3 am I got into bed. My sister is beyond exhausted and and so is the rest of her family. Mom's doc appointment was OK and I'm looking forward to a night of rest. Tomorrow we are going to see a play my nice (Alicia) helped build the set for, Th
