So to our brothers and sisters up north, more help is on the way. I know there will be a lot of frustration from being without power for this long, just remember when you see these guys out there, they have been working 14 to 16 hour days with 8 to 10 hours off for 4 days already.
Those areas nead all the help they can get.

Not sure if true or not, but - I heard on the radio this morning that a group of workers from Alabama (I think) made their way to either NYC or NJ and got turned away because they were all non-union employees. I really do hope that this wasn't a true story.
