I don't think Neaton is out of the woods just yet.  But gee, I hope there is an opening soon, and I think that associates can finally see a light at the end of the 8 month tunnel.

For a little back info on the trials of Neaton Auto, check out my past blogs.  This is really just meant as an update.  FINALLY, some good news.

1.  My husband, and many others, have been working 40 hour weeks again.  I'll tell you what...you never realize how much a 40 hour work week means to your livelihood until you get some of it taken away.  Suddenly a "regular" 40-hour work week becomes the blessing it should always be.

2.  People who took a voluntary lay-off about a month and a half back, have been called back to work.  Its not a lot of people.  The 100 plus temporaries let go last December are still gone.  But I still take it as a good sign. 

3.  Rumor has it....that production requests from Honda will increase come fall, as well as possibly new orders from other companies Neaton supplies to.  This COULD MEAN...40 hour work weeks the rest of the year.  It COULD POSSIBLY MEAN...dare I say it?  The potential for overtime this fall???

My family has been fortunate this year.  We have been making it.  It has not been easy.  And I'm sure there are lots of Neaton families out there that have had just as hard a year as we have, if not worse.  My thoughts and prayers are always with all of you.

I don't think Neaton is going anywhere.  I think the dark days will be behind us soon.  Just how soon I cant say, but Neaton Auto, and its employees, are survivors.
