If you think the AMFA membership "caved"...whats your definition of "caved"? Traditionally its when a union and its members give in to company concessions or demands.
Sounds like you fell down the ignorance well and are trying to drink it all.
The judge temporarily enjoined any job action by whatever name.
Wrong.

Personally, I don't think either party is in line with the goals of labor.
The difference as I see it is that the Republicans don't try to convince anyone otherwise, which I can't say that about the Demoncrats. Besides the examples above of interfering with the right to strike, Clinton pushed hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs to Mexico with the passage of NAFTA. Now, you've got Demoncrats trying to legalize letting the rest of Mexico come here to take over what few jobs still exist...
SO, you can continue to fund the Dems if you really believe it's a worthy cause. I'll continue to vote independently for candidates who stand for important things, like enforcing the borders, English as our only language, and a few more things which are probably more in line with the Dixie Democrats of the 60's than they are with the Democratic platform of 2006...

FM, your "political" post is one with which I both agree and identify myself. I was a "Dixicrat" when I "went North" in the '60s because "that was where the money was".
That also motivates politicians. Senators and members of the House of Representatives (aka the Congress) are interested today in only one thing: REELECTION
Thus they will evaluate the issues on only TWO things: what generates more money - to produce more votes.
If Organized Labor can prodcue either of the two, the vote will follow.

Durkheim says Unions need to become a public entity.
Well when I went to an AFA meeting they have stated a CHAOS incident is technically a strike.

The AFA was threatening a general strike when nwa imposed it's first T/A on the members. The CHAOS action was just the attention getter. CHAOS could be a sick day. CHAOS could be crews stopping for a bite to eat "walking" from A4 to A78. The judge, no matter how important he fancies himself, cannot stop CHAOS. While he can place injunctions on unions for a general strike (see Eastern airlines mechanics strike), he can't tell a F/A to report to work if he/she is sick. Almost everyone has said on these boards that this "could" be history in the making for labor, this has also been mentioned in more labor friendly media outlets.
Calling in sick, is not a legal strike. Doing a slow down is not a legal strike. Those are cheap low brow things to do. But then CHAOS is a job action to do to a company, when you believe you dont have the full support of the membership.
The injunction prohibits any sort of work action, including chaos, sick etc...
