On the job or the picket line. I don't know if the strikers say a prayer before their scheduled picket times, but that might be a good idea. These people are not out there because they want to scream and yell at their employer. They are there because they are standing up for what they believe is right for themselves and their families. They don't want to be outside in the cold, the rain, and the snow and ice. Not to mention high winds, and single degree temperatures. God does want us to keep the peace whenever possible, but he doesn't want a man or a woman to go to work in an environment that might not be safe. He does want us to take care of our bodies as if it were a temple. Which means keeping yourself in a safe work environment. It also means having good health coverage for yourself and your family so that if you do become ill you can afford to go to the doctor or buy prescription drugs without spending your children's college fund on it. The people who are on the Volvo picket line are only asking for what is right. They are not asking for a pay raise, just to keep what they already have. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. I'm sure that the folks who are in this situation are good God fearing christians who just want to earn a living and be safe while doing it. So with that said, let us pray for this to be resolved soon to the best benefit of Volvo and it's employees. - Christy Quesenberry Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:25:11 +0100
