Striking UAW workers at Volvo have reached a tentative agreement to end the walkout The UAW says the agreement was reached Tuesday evening. The strike at Volvo Truck North America began February 1st. Twenty-six hundred workers were on strike.

UAW Vice-President general Holiefield says the solidarity and discipline of members of UAW Local 2069 are what made this agreement possible. Details are being shared first with the striking workers before being made public. The workers must approve the agreement in a ratification vote to end the strike and return to work at the Volvo truck plant in Dublin, Virginia.

2. I wish it could be that fast

Next Friday the 21st is the day. It may be 1-3 MONTHS before I can come back. I won't have use of my right hand or arm. :-(

I spent Tuesday evening at a Democratic get together that included Kathleen Kennedy (Townsend). Yesterday I just needed some private time away. I had to put my cat down yesterday afternoon. I had him since 1992. He was out in truck traffic. I was going to take him to the shelter the next day. He never got there. He looks a lot like the black and white cat in the ad on the front page of the DU.
