MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A bankruptcy judge ruled on Monday that Mesaba Aviation Inc. can reject its union contracts with workers, a legal step toward a showdown that could result in a strike this week at the Northwest Airlines Corp. feeder. Judge Gregory Kishel's ruling said Mesaba can impose terms on Wednesday, a day after he's scheduled to hear the airline's request for an injunction against a strike.

I think he'll shy away from an injunction - he knows there is a good chance that would get thrown out by a higher court.

Well.....atleast common sense would point to enforced servitude being illegal, but then again since when did common sense have anything to do with this!
