[Ducati] Strike at Harley (NDC)

[Bruce Bellm]

FWIW my father was the president of a local union in Teeterboro, NJ for the 
International Brotherhood of Pulp and Paper Mill Workers. It was with a 
company called Robert Gair which was bought by Continental Can Corp. And, I 
ended up being a manager in personnel and labor relations for the State of 
CT. So, I hve seen both sides of the labor-management issue up close. While 
there is good and bad on both sides, there is no question in my mind where 
the power is when employees don't organize.
