WASHINGTON (AP) - Northwest Airlines mechanics decided Friday night to walk off the job after months of negotiations failed, the union said.
Jim Young, union spokesman, said the mechanics would rather see the airline go into bankruptcy than agree to Northwest's terms. The union, which represents 4,427 of Northwest's 40,000 workers, decided to strike at 12:01 a.m. EDT Saturday.
