To bad Bloomberg & Petaki don't have the stones to do it.

WHO IS Toben Smith?!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

I said that here this morning and no one put me on TV.

I feel so slighted. :o(

How about both, jail 'em and can 'em at the same time.

Toben Smith says JAIL Transit Workers!

Personally, I think we should jail everyone.

[ZULU]

Fire them and throw their leaders in Jail.

Ed Koch -- who was mayor of New York during an 11-day strike back in the early 1980s -- addressed this exact point on the radio this morning. He said financial penalties -- against both the union and individual workers -- are the only truly effective way to deal with a strike like this. The problem with jailing striking workers is two-fold: 1) this is the kind of measure that is reminiscent of something you'd expect to see in the Soviet Union under Stalin, and 2) you end up making martyrs out of the people out on strike. The combination of these two factors will actually provide more public support to the striking workers than they would otherwise have.

Gut-check time for Bloomberg. Wish I could find a pic of that squirrel with a big set of....you know.

[pikachu]

Bloomberg should say 1) The union is now dissolved, 2) any transit workers not reporting for duty immediatly to train their replacments will be arrested, and 3) those who do report will be on probation for a year if they want to keep their jobs. The union leadership should be put on trial for public endanegrment and the non-reporting strikers should be banned for life from any sort of city/state job.

What will happen? Nothing.

Don't they look like they deserve a raise?
