This is a paragraph from the USA Today. Not real accurate info.
"Northwest Airlines Corp. has now locked all its unions into lower pay and more company-friendly work rules through the end of 2011. That would set Northwest up for a long stretch of labor peace after enduring two strikes since 1998."

For a long stretch of labor peace ? They make it sound like everything is all "hunky-dory."
Some peace to be after a 40% pay cut and a frozen pension.
