Not sure about anybody else, but if I were being docked 2 days' pay per day just before Christmas thanks to the union, I think the union would have 'splainin to do.

Get back to work you bums! You're lucky you weren't all fired and had your VERY GENEROUS pensions revoked.

That'll be a fun day back at work. I bet there's not much love for the TWU employees tomorrow. LOL

The fines have been stayed, for now, because the union appealed. They might never have to be paid.

Me thinks the Union did the typical liberal thing......

Stick your finger in the wind and see how the wind blows.


Obvious the Union is not getting ANY sympathy from the average Joe out there, in fact they are getting open hostilities. Even their buddies in the MSM can't even help them.

I can't belive they were stupid to do this the week before Christmas.

IMPOSE THE FINES.

DON'T BUDGE ON PENSIONS.

They are on the run and have suffered horrendous losses in court due to their illegal strike. Don't let the socialists have their way.

I was kinda hoping they would keep striking till they either A. All got fired, or B. Had so many fines to pay, that they broke the union.

Either is good for us.

NYC should turn over the operation of its transit system to several private companies after competitive bidding.

The trend, unfortunately, has been to do the exact opposite. Private lines are being absorbed by the MTA.

TWU Head Toussaint is addressing the media now.

On Thursday, in the first serious injury since the strike began, an off-duty firefighter was critically injured when he was struck by a private bus while riding his bike to work.

Manslaughter charges should be brought to the haed union thugs for this!!

I gues there's going to be a new meaning to the words "last minute Christmas Shopping" in NYC this year!
