It is nice to know that NYC has made it illegal for them to strike and they must pay 2 days fine for every 1 day they are off. I wonder if the union leaders suffer the same penalties?
Raoul is correct that if you are going to push the issue and try to hurt the city (which is exactly what they are doing) then it needs to be when it is the most effective.
The money they make is well above market value for their positions....
Bring in the SCABS.

It's NYC, I mean how long can this strike last for anyway? I say a couple days at most. Yeah, bring in the scabs so we can all work 6 days a week 10 hours a day with no over time... just great..

I went on strike and was replaced by a scarecrow.
I didn't think my demands were unreasonable.
All I wanted was a longer staff and a goat scooper.
I didn't have any benefits before the strike and now I got less.
ScareCrows are scabs! They should set a match to the lot of them!

Your previous posts, while marginally coherent, indicate your steadfast dedication to the unionized work force. I'm sure they have increased the size of your paycheck, probably far above what you could get in the free market. Therefore I understand your loyalty.
However, for those of us who are capable of earning a decent living without the use of extortion.....Unions tend to make us sick.
