Reply #70: No, it is that law which is illegal.

[K-W]

You cannot compel people to labor against thier will.

The strikers are public employees, and NY law forbids them from striking.

New York Law forbids public employees from ceasing thier labor... so when you take a job with the MTA, you are agreeing to enter into bondage? What kind of horseshit is this? MTA workers like all human beings have the right to withhold thier labor. Or is it ok again to pass laws in the United States that force people to work against thier will?

They have paralyzed the city.

Oh, I'm sorry you are right. Getting the trains running so you can go back to life as usual is WAYYY more important than the rights of transit workers. WHAT WAS I THINKING

Their union and leaders should be fined heavily if they continue this illegal strike!!!

Why don't we just call out the Pinkerton's and drop this charade? Why even let the workers have unions if the unions can just be destroyed whenever they exercise thier leverage?

They could have opted for mediation or arbitration, but instead they are engaging in this illegal strike.

It turns out the transit workers care more about thier livelyhoods than about the convienence of your commute.

Roger Toussaint should be sent to Riker's Island jail for a couple of years cooling off time.

Yep, lets throw union leaders into prison, great idea.

Just more vicious regressivism. Do you really think that society without unions is a place we want to return to?
