Change

Times.....they are changing.  And for our family, very quickly.  Last week Ted applied for a new position out at the mine.  Monday, he had an interview. Later that day he had an offer.  Tuesday he accepted the offer and this coming Monday, he starts his new job.  What's changed with the job....everything, except he will still be out at the mine.  He will no longer be a union represented employee, he is now working for the company side of Westmoreland Coal.  That also means, he is now salary, instead of hourly.  His benefits changed. He will be a Maintenance Foreman, so no more welding.  He will still be on shift work, he is assigned to a crew.  He will move from working on B crew to A crew.  Hopefully, we will all adjust well to these changes.  We are excited to see what our future holds!
