Earlier yesterday, Mr. Toussaint hinted at some movement in the talks at the Grand Hyatt hotel, saying that the union would reduce its wage demands to 6 percent a year, from 8 percent a year, if the authority promised to reduce the number of disciplinary actions brought against transit workers. The authority has offered raises of 3 percent a year for three years.

This is why unions suck these days. Its not about the job so much as job security to members reguardless of merit. They are saying they will take LESS money if they get in trouble less often when they fuck up.
I think everyone should have the right to strike but eployers should have the right to fire you. If your job is so unskilled that it can be replaced by scabs, the union has no purpose.
