NWA Fat Cats Screw the Workers - Pulse of the Twin Cities, MN
Clearly, the big losers in this fiasco are the mechanics who have lost their jobs. Most of their replacements are workers subcontracted at lower wages. The seeds of this drama began in 1999 when mechanics, airplane custodians and other related workers—9,000 in all—disaffiliated from the International Association of Machinists (IAM) and affiliated with the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA).
