I've been meaning to write up something about this mess. This article will have to do for the moment. Just a brief back-story: Defense Contractor Honeywell owns a uranium enrichment plant in Metropolis Illinois where the workers have been locked out for nearly a year now because Honeywell wants to cut medical benefits. Medical is essential to working in this factory as it is nearly certain one is going to get sick from working there. Honeywell is so intent on making a stand on this issue that they are willing to hire scab workers, blow the place up a few times and spend far more money than if they just kept the union contract as it is.
