Hi, The strike was averted for now as both sides agreed to extend the current contract untill Easter.
The company will pay the rank and file .25 cents per hour retroactivly for past hours worked,
the previous three months, and into the future, for not striking. The union still has a stirke
vote on the table at Easter , a large food holiday.
