"Northwest Airlines ensured that its 15,000 baggage handlers, ticket agents and other ground workers would remain on the job Wednesday, and that its planes would keep flying through a mechanics strike, by taking work away from the mechanics union and giving it to the ground workers union.
Rumors swirling among Northwest workers Wednesday morning said the machinists union was poised to pull its workers off the job at 1 p.m., making it virtually impossible for Northwest to fly more than a handful of planes."

Looks like a rather ugly "turf war" between the IAM and the AMFA...which is a "break-away" union from the IAM.
