• August Strike at Northwest Possible; Airline Hopes to Make Deal with Mechanics Union

A possible strike looming at Northwest Airlines Corp. could affect travelers at Milwaukee's Mitchell International Airport, where Northwest is the second busiest carrier. The National Mediation Board last week released the airline and the union representing Northwest mechanics and other ground crew workers from mediated talks, triggering a 30-day "cooling off" period. The board's action means that a strike could begin Aug. 20 if a new labor agreement isn't reached by that time.
