If that complaint is upheld, strikers would be entitled to return to jobs now performed by the some1,300 new employees the company says are permanent replacements.

The unions, representing more than 2,000 employees ranging from delivery drivers and pressmen to reporters and editors, were united in their conviction that Detroit Newspapers set out to break them. However, they were hindered from the beginning by an inability...
