Does anyone know how the Railway Act factors into a potential NW Mechanics strike, as well as the union's ability to effect a work slowdown? I have heard from a friend of mine who is a mechanic for UA that this act enables mechanics to do both. I tried doing a google search for more informaiton, but I came up empty..
