Thank You (((((( WENDY)))))) and ((((( RERUN)))))) Everyones support has just meant so much here. My husband is just becoming more exhausted by what is going on. If I knew we had medical insurance yet.. I'd make him an appt to see the doctor for something to help him sleep. And him not doing well is making me more worried for him also.

Picketing last night was cold and rainy. But the union got a burning permit.. so they were able to bring out a barrel to put a fire in there for some warmth. There were workers from other factories down the road in the industrial park that were bringing union memmbers food and coffee and other beverages. Even other unions have come in for support too. We are starting to think that the company doesnt know what they are dealing with. And to boot.. they have hired security guards/and police to guard the place. If they are spending that much money on security.. why cant they spend it on these workeres salaries? The big 3 automakers are really threatening to pull out their accounts now. The lawyer for the company showed up at 5:30 am this morning.. so who knows what that is about for sure. They do have scabs in there working for $9.00 an hour now. Still busing them over from the fairgrounds. A certain politician who is campaigning for president is supposed to be in the area over the weekend. He's been told about this situation and will probably be showing up. I think this could be a good thing. Bringing attention to the company will possibly push them to do deal with this in a positive way. WE hope.

There is more going on. I just cant get into it right now. Just dont know if the company will close altogether or not.
