Unemployment Union
Local 641 Goes on Strike
By
Brian K. White One of the most controversial labor
unions in the nation, the Union of Unemployed Workers, went on strike Wednesday

Greyhound Applauded for Deterring

Brian K. White
The Greyhound
Bus Line felt all the new safety constraints following the events of September

representative from Greyhound, "but with only a handful of strategic
'improvements' we've been able to avoid not only terrorists, but passengers and
revenue as well."
