Watching a news story last night: Northwest Airlines is asking the labor unions to authorize a pay cut for union workers. The catch: NWA paid $ 11 Million in bonuses to its upper-level management. NWA representatives feel that the bonuses are justified, as they need to reward those managers who met or exceeded their quotas.

The nullification would allow the company to impose its own labor policies, supposedly letting them meeting the timelines and committments to their lenders.
Freakin' scary.
On one hand, I can see it. If United goes under, it means the loss of a huge amount of jobs. At least if they keep operating, some folks will keep working.
On the other hand, nullifying contracts seems like an extreme measure, and I abhor the escalation of class warfare that this entails.
They're not even bothering to disguise it anymore.
