Circulation for most editions was 40,000-60,000. It was available through the mail and in stores and corner boxes throughout Southeast Michigan.</p><p>The newspaper strike formally ended in February, 1997, when the unions made an offer to return to work.

This collection includes the full run of the paper, which was published for the duration of the strike, until shortly before the final appeal ruling.</p><p>This collection includes the full run of the paper, which was published for the duration of the strike.</p>
