Where do I send my contribution to this judge? His favorite charity, whatever he wants.

Court Fines NYC Transit Strikers $1M a Day
NEW YORK - The city's subway and bus workers went on strike Tuesday for the first time in more than 25 years, stranding millions of commuters, holiday shoppers and tourists at the height of the Christmas rush. A judge promptly slapped a $1 million-a-day fine on the union.
State Justice Theodore Jones leveled the sanction against the Transport Workers Union for violating a state law that bars public employees from going on strike.
Attorneys for the city and state had asked Jones to hit the union with a "very potent fine" for defying the law.

I would love to see this strike go on for months.
It would be a great thing to watch people cope, adapt and, eventually, be able to do WITHOUT the TWU.

Now if a judge would just fine the NYT $1 mil per day for it's anti American propaganda, we'd be in business...

Let's see, the strike can be costing NYC upwards of 400 million a day? Is that right? And this judge fines the union 1 million dollars a day? That's not a fine, it's a joke.

Don't worry, Pataki and Bloomberg will cave, and the TWU won't have to pay the fine as part of the caveing agreement.

Easier. The mayor issues an ultimatum: Return to work on your regular shift beginning at midnight or be fired. If youa re too sick to come to work, you had better be in the hospital or bring a doctor's note. There are few jobs even in NYC where a 50 year old person with no marketable skills can make $75,000/yr.

The union has about 33,000 members, so that's in the ballpart of 33 dollars a day per member- not nearly enough.

The transit workers have cut their own throats. Street interviews with commuters have gotten one big response: 'I have to pay for my health insurance. Why should these b*st*rds get it for free while screwing-up my life??'

The judge should have thrown the union leaders in jail for contempt of court. As far as I'm concerned they should fire all union members and start clean. Now is the perfect time to do it. This strike will probably last through Christmas, where presumably ridership would go down. Two weeks should be enough to train people to be able to drive in circles.

It would have been better if they used more acronyms in the headline. Example:
NYS Court Fines TWU
becomes
NYS COA TFU TWU
Translation: New York State Court Of Appeals Totally [Fouls] Up Transit Workers Union.

Reagan had the solution for government workers who illegally strike. Fire them.

I read on another thread that the TWU only has $3.5 million in the bank. 4 days and they are broke. That is until the fine is forgiven during the caving, I mean negotiations.

since these scumbags with malice and aforethought voted for an illegal strike that punishes innocent riders and businesses... can they now be sued in civil court for damages and be charged under RICO statutes???
