I heard a sound bite from him earlier today he said something along the line of
"These workers really need to get back to work"I'm driving down the road yelling at my radio "You're the Flipping mayor ORDER THEM BACK TO WORK OR FIRE THEM!!!"
To: conservative in nyc
So who has the authority to fire their happy heinies?

Does anyone have any idea where he is going with all this? Shouldn't he be firing the illegal strikers?

Does anyone have any idea where he is going with all this?I was just wondering about that because I don't think his flapping his gums is going to accomplish much.

For each day they are on strike they lost 1 percent of their pay.

Restraining order? Restraining them from what, striking? Why doesn't he tell them to get back to work or they're fired?

He's saying that the Health system is basically in a crisis.
He's asking for "temporary restraining order against the TWU and for the judge to again order them back to work. Separate from the MTA suit, which is costing them 1 million dollars a day.

I was explaining the transit strike to my daughter and mentioned Steve Doocey commenting that cars must have four or more passengers to travel in NYC. Is this true? If so, is it just during the busy Christmas season or all the time?
We rural Alabamians are a bit confused on the subject, but sincerely wish you an end to what sounds like a very maddening situation.

The courts have the power to jail the Local Union Leader.
When he's in court tomorrow he might not be leaving.

Napolitano: Restraining order would tell strikers to get back to work or risk jail, etc. The city has to get the restraining order first?

If the jihadists had a plot planned for NYC this would be a good time to execute it.
To: ConservativeMan55
The only person who could fire them is Peter Kalikow, the head of the MTA (a semi-autonomous government agency run by neither Pataki nor Bloomberg).
