Northwest killing off its unions

yep, if they get rid of their unions, just think how much more profitable they will be... never mind the workers, of course...
Northwest Airlines, struggling to restructure in bankruptcy, has raised its target for concessions from some of its ground workers to USD$190 million annually, which the carrier hopes will bring costs in line with its revenue.

If the workers fail to ratify a new concessions package, Northwest will ask the bankruptcy court to void its existing collective bargain agreement, Northwest said in a September 26 letter to the International Association of Machinists.

"if they wanna work, they're gonna hafta work under OUR terms..." this is precisely the kind of thing bushco has encouraged since united went under... let's get rid of them damn unions...
