worked for a manufacturing company for about 30 years. In September
they went on strike because, as their old contract ended, the new one
didn't look very good.
In the interim, the cooling of the economy has continued and other
manufacturers have been laying folks off creating a sizable pool of
people to hire from if the company decided to break the strike. The
union voted to accept the new contract thinking it better to have a
lousy contract than no job. My dad decided to retire.
It wasn't the happy decision I like to think of retirement as being,
but a torturious choice between the lesser of two evils. Needless to
say, it makes me glad I stayed in the military.
