MY bro and his g-friend do it.

Anyway, I am totally in favor of this Union, and these striking tactics.

THIS IS exactly what collectivism is all about.

I can't possibly imagine what purpose a Union can have if it is barred from striking by law. What kind of shit is that? I guess when you run the assylum, appoint the judges, and bribe the legislators it is quite likely that you will be the one who holds all the cards, like making it illegal for your opposing union to strike. What a freaking joke.

If this is costing NYC's ecomony billions of dollars every day then it might be in your best interest to come up with an offer the union WILL except.

I wonder really, casting aside this questionable strike illegality nonsense, who really holds all the cards here? Pony up MTA bitches, you've been played and played good.

I fully support the Union on this one. I completely distrust the government, and feel awful for those effected by the strike. Blame and demonize the union, but don't forget they are reacting (and did so by a memeber referendum) to the negotiations which occured with the MTA. Corrupt unaccountable politician types, to be sure. Can't you just see the 'government/management/MTA' negotiator tisk tisking, wagging his little finger, and smirking while he reminds himself that these idiots have no bargaining power because they can't strike. Ouch.

Of cousr if I was the man on this one, I'd fire them all as fast as they could say "one million dollars a day?"

Solidarity TWU,
