Connections


I was reading one article on asymmetrical warfare in Iraq and then an article on labor strife in London where a handful of strikers triggered a cascade of events resulting in the loss of over $100 million to British Airways. Labor laws make this strike by workers supporting 600 workers who lost their jobs legal there. The loss works out to $167,000 per job. That's a big ouch! Asymmetrical economic warfare. I'm not an expert but I believe that such sympathy strikes are not legal in the US.
