The mechanics strike is on at Northwest airlines, and being from the Minneapolis St. Paul area this is a big deal.
Link: NWA says ‘normal’; union says no way.
My neighbor is a very senior mechanic and officer in the previous mechanics union. He seems to be quite excited about the opportunities that this strike may present for him. He has been planning for a life transition for some time and this strike my be the kick in the pants that he has been looking for. As for his fellow coworkers, he feels sorry for those who have not planned for the massive changes that will most likely take place because of this strike. He thinks "most people in the union really need this job" and they don’t have plans for another alternative. Time will tell what really happens.

About waynem
As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work.
My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams.
My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
