I don't want to temp the Great Law of Headline Question Marks, but there does seem to be some progress being made in pacifying labor unrest in Denver ahead of the Democrats' convention there. The Rocky Mountain News reports this:
Labor officials were granted a seat on the Denver 2008 host committee that they had sought since last summer. The leader of one of the state's largest unions said it was time to "move on," and national AFL-CIO President John Sweeney flew into Denver to "tone down the rhetoric" that has surrounded the debate over labor issues in Colorado.
Still unresolved, however, is whether the newly elected Democratic governor, Bill Ritter, will have to cave on a bill to make it easier to set up a union shop in Colorado. He's already vetoed the bill, but may revisit it.
