So where are they with this now? I read that the negotiations really went nowhere today.

I must say, everyone on strike has obviously planned very well from a financial perspective. I could take a month off work without pay if I had to but it would really suck. There would have to be some serious problems for me to do it voluntarily.

Latest text from USW:

"Bargaining is moving along. Industry needs to close the gaps and end the strike or see it expand. Stay tough"

So, in one sentence they are saying that bargaining is moving along. The next sentence they talk about expanding the strike. Typical.

Not sure where you heard that, but I've read a few news articles stating that Friday might be the end of this.
