Union Votes to Accept Agreement!!!

When Zach left us to take this job in September, he walked right into a contentious union battle at his plant site.  He has since gone through three more offers all of which the union declined.  This last offer was the final one before the workers planned to strike.  They put it to vote right before Zach left for France. The voting process takes 10 days to allow for all the folks working different shifts to submit their votes.  We found out today that it passed 7 - 6 !!!!  It was an extremely dramatic win because the union leader quit on the spot.  Prior to the final results the union members assured them that they supported the union leader's agenda and planned to strike.  In the final hour, they voted to support Zach.  We were thrilled!!!  Zach has worked so hard for this moment and put up with countless long nights and frustrating conversations to find a mutual solution.  The kids and I put together an impromptu celebration for the 4 month long struggle.
