The board says the ongoing 19-month labor dispute is illegal, and Kaiser says it'll challenge that decision. The board agrees with the union. Kaiser engaged in some unfair labor practices. That decision could cost the company 270-million dollars in backpay to it's workers. You'd think this would be a victory for the union, but strikers at the Mead plant, like William Hefling, take the news in with caution.

"We have ups and downs so much the past 19 months that right when we get a step up we get knocked down again. It's really tough but this one has picked us up a lot more." In a statement released by Kaiser, the president says the decision will have no financial impact on the company. That's because he plans to take the matter to trial where he says he's confident the allegations will be dismissed.
