While the Union guys have been great through this whole SNAFU and working very hard to get management to reverse the decision by Briner, I feel credit needs to be given where it is due. Governor Beshear's (KY) office got involved and were the one's who pressured management to do the right (i.e. "legal") thing with the checks.

If you notice the complete change in attitude it is almost comical. First they took everything, now they aren't even taking the last check which they legally may or may not have been entitled to. They were scared into this by the Governor.

I am not from Kentucky and have never voted in anything but a presidential election, but you better believe I will make the point to vote for Beshear next time around. Those of you who got paid today because of him should consider doing the same.

And please don't take this as a slam on the Union, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of work they put in on resolving this theft by the company. Its just not where the results came from.
