"Union Busting, 21st Century Style"

The New York Times has this depressing article about scab mechanics at Northwest Airlines. The most depressing and terrible part about all this is, most of the scabs were union mechanics at United and Delta before the "9/11 purge". Second most depressing part: the $107 million "contingency plan" Northwest had put in place 3 months before the strike.

Nathan Newman has this thoughtful piece on the strike, including reflections on the NYT coverage.
