I can say that all of the writers named in the memo were those who were named in the succesful lawsuit. As to whether it is a set-up, I think with the kind of high mucky-mucks the union has on its board, plus the backing of the UAW, the NYT would be playing a very dangerous game in doing so.

This is a very interesting discussion and I would like to thank all of you.
