[PUBLICATION ALERT: I’m at a wedding this weekend (pretty sure it’s not mine) so may not post but maybe will…you’ll live. But, if i’m not back here ’til Monday, by all means, keep debating the current hot topics]

Here are couple of more things that are worth thinking about. First, I meant to say something yesterday about Steve Greenhouse’s profile of O.V. Delle-Femine, the national director of the Aircraft Fraternal Mechanics Association (AMFA), the Northwest strikers’ union: it surprised me that the article made no mention of Delle-Femine’s connection to a New Hampshire management consultant and a both-sides-of-the-fence labor firm. The guy has some questionable credentials and motivations, as I see it.

Second, I’ve gotten a hold of another letter that will blow your minds–or maybe not. It’s an internal electronic newsletter that circulates within the International Association of Machinists. It gives you a real feel for the raw hatred for AMFA.
