  • Replacements As a Labor Weapon: a 300-Pound Linebacker the Union Leaders Never Saw Coming
    REPLACEMENTS AS A LABOR WEAPON: A 300-POUND LINEBACKER THE UNION LEADERS NEVER SAW COMING THOMAS LLOYD Forever A Memorable Game The stage was set for easily one of the most memorable games between National Football League division rivals Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys. It was mid-October and each team had amassed a 3-1 record, sufficient for a two-way tie for first place in the NFC East, and fans responded appropriately. Cowboy fans had Texas Stadium humming with a near capacity crowd of 60,612.1 Back in Washington D.C., over 600,000 homes turned their televisions to ABC to watch the Monday Night Football showdown.2 But this could arguably be expected, as division rivalry games usually result in increased fan interest, especially when it’s the top seeds playing on a Monday Night. However, this time was different. The year was 1987 and this was no regular game. Rather, it was the 42nd and final game to be played with replacement players in the NFL. The players’ strike, headed by NFL Players Association (NFLPA) President Gene Upshaw, had been called off four full days prior – one day too late to meet the owners’ deadline that would allow the regulars to play that week. The regular Washington Redskins, like all other football squads, had only played the season’s first two regular season games before the strike sent them to the picket lines. After the entire league took the third week off to allow the building of replacement squads, NFL fans would see replacement-powered games for three straight weeks.

    Issue No. 1287 27 October 2017 // USAFCUWS Outreach Journal Issue 1287 // Featured Item “North Korea’s Biological Weapons Program: The Known and Unknown”. Written by Hyun-Kyung Kim, Elizabeth Philipp, and Hattie Chung; published by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs; October 2017 https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/north-koreas-biological-weapons-program-known-and- unknown Amidst the growing threat of North Korea’s nuclear program, the assassination of Kim Jong-Un’s half-brother via VX nerve agent in February 2017 brought renewed interest in North Korea’s other weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs—chemical and biological weapons. If used on a large scale, these weapons can cause not only tens of thousands of deaths, but also create panic and paralyze societies. Nevertheless, the vividness of the nuclear threat has overshadowed other weapons programs, limiting the attention and policy input that they deserve. This paper focuses on North Korea’s biological weapons (BW). Accurately assessing the threat from North Korea’s biological weapons is challenging. Whereas North Korea has publicly declared its will to become a nuclear power many times, it has been less overt about its intention or capability for biological weapons. BW capabilities are inherently hard to detect and measure. While nuclear programs can be monitored by the number of nuclear tests and the success of missile tests, weaponizing and cultivating pathogens can stay invisible behind closed doors. Moreover, equipment used for BW production are often dual-use for agriculture, making external monitoring and verification virtually impossible. Limited information on North Korea’s BW program leads to a low threat perception that may undermine preparation and response efforts.
