Subway service on the A and C lines in both directions are running with severe delays due to a boycott by train crews following several violent attacks on transit workers, according to the Transit Workers Union Local 100.

Did they ever return?
No they never returned
And their fate is still unlearn’d
He may ride forever
‘neath the streets of New York
There the men who never returned.

When the government employees "go Galt," you have a real problem on your hands.

The train conductors need to respond like the mailman in "Goodfellas" after he got beaten up for delivering a letter from the school to the kid's house - no more mail to his address.

If a conductor is attacked at a train station, just don't stop there again - ever.

I think I made this up but in any event:

Soft on crime?
I’m hard on you.
