<< This article is bad news for the strikers in the Detroit Newspaper
fight, since it means they lose their right to their jobs back and
millions of dollars in back pay.
The only saving grace is that the three-judge panel majority was made up
of Judge Sentelle and Judge Silberman, two of the most rightwing Appeals

The lawyers will have to move for a rehearing and petition to the S.Ct., but that's the ball game for practical purposes. Scum--I mean the News & Freep & the DC Cir. --jks
