Monday

If you don't read the newspapers and aren't in the UAW 833, you probably wouldn't have any idea the possibility of labor unrest not seen in almost 30 years in this community existed. Either that's a good thing, or its the calm before the storm.

We do know these things:

- Kohler Company and union officials are supposed to resume negotiations today. The union will continue working under its existing contract until at least Friday. At that point, either party can end that arrangement with 48 hours notice. That means, worst case scenario, there could be a strike starting Sunday October 11th.

- The union is planning to make picket signs and then do some form of picketing on Wednesday October 6th. This could be a major turning point if it gets that far.

More to come, for sure.
