Couple things:

1. Drivers really work for private companies that have contracts w. the city.

2. Teachers striking in NYS is easier said than done. The Taylor Law, etc. Penalties are just to extreme; it would break the union. Even MORE agrees with that.

There are however , OTHER things UFT could do to support a 'united front' w. other unions and sectors, short of an illegal strike.
