Mechanics striking Northwest Airlines are beginning to show signs of dissent, ten days after walking off their jobs. In a union known for lively debate, some members of the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association, which struck Northwest on Aug. 20, are questioning the union leaders' decision to call a strike without a vote on the airline's final offer. Other workers are voicing adamant support for the walkout.
