Northwest baggage handlers in Minneapolis had a work stoppage today
What NWA has done to their workers is beyond sinful.

1. Reactions are mixed, but the fact FOX 9 aired viewer comments that
supported the workers... :wow:

Especially as Minnesota TAXPAYERS have bailed out NWA before, their treatment of their working taxpayers is a bit... sad.

2. Northworst has one of these actions every Thanksgiving.
I was stranded 8 hours in Detroit several Thanksgivings ago because mechanics refused to change a light bulb as part of a job action.

3. I did not know that
It got big play here (in California!) on our local 3 o'clock news!

4. Duluth helped them build a Airbus Maintenance base
Gave them a huge tax break and they are going to close it now, and they don't have to pay any penalty. Why is the airline business so fucked up?
