Flight Attendants at NWA Can Strike Under Ruling
Northwest Airlines suffered a major blow today as the flight attendants would be allowed to strike if it came down to it.  In a decision issued by Judge Allan L. Gropper, the court denied the airline's request for an injunction that would have prevented the Northwest flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), from striking in response to the company's rejection of their collective bargaining agreement.

"Today we sent a strong message to corporate America: you cannot keep taking from your employees without a fight," said Mollie Reiley, Interim Master Executive Council President. "Now, Northwest management has one more chance. They have the choice to either set greed aside for once and agree to a fair and equitable contract, or they will face CHAOS(TM). Management needs to reduce their demands and do it in a hurry."

CHAOS, or Create Havoc Around Our System(TM), is AFA-CWA's trademarked strategy of targeted work actions using random, unannounced strikes. As upheld by the bankruptcy court, any unilateral change in a contract triggers a right to strike under the Railway Labor Act.
