Splintered unions get in step for mechanics - BY JEWEL GOPWANI, Detroit Free Press
'Make sure your local doesn't fly Northwest Air,' said Sole, a 57-year-old chemist and president of UAW Local 2334, to hundreds of union workers and their families who walked past him during the Labor Day parade in Detroit.
Although Sole is not among the 4,400 striking mechanics at Northwest Airlines, which has been operating with replacements since its union mechanics went on strike Aug. 20, he said he's tired of organized labor's tepid response to the strike.
