I applaud the head of the TWU for not backing down to the MTA.....

Also.... under the "Taylor Law" each employee is going to be fined..... 2 days for every day they miss of work..... also the union is going to be fined 1 million dollars for every day there employees are on strike.

There is alot more to it than just money.......


WOW!!! Funny how the news stories aren't saying ANY of that. All they're doing is talking to the RIDERS who are naturally whining about being inconvenienced. I saw a huge news story tonight about it (seeing how it affects many people here in Connecticut, it was one of the top stories).

Thanks for the inside scoop Tommy
