"Ironically, Its the REAL working class folks that have the long commute from the Bronx/Brooklyn that these union scum are screwing over the most."
Absolutely right. And don't forget what this strike is doing to small business owners, many of whom happen to be hardworking legal immigrants with extremely tenuous economic security.
If Reagan were Mayor, he would fire every last one of them immediately and prohibit any one of them from ever working for the city government again. Easy fix.
I'll wave to you as I go by! ;-)
Put him under a bus.
At their rally the other night outside Pataki's office, 3rd avenue was littered with their signs. Pigs just threw everything everywhere. Rudy would have charged the union with the OT fees for the Sanitation dept. Disgraceful what is happening here.
If I was home, Id let you in for a cup of coffee!
Why are they waiting until tomorrow? Why was this not done yesterday?
Exactly, another group liberals claim to concerned about. Bunch of hypocrites.
When the rats come out of the tunnels, dont feed them! lol They are going to be wondering why it's so quiet and no fresh food down there.
Thanks. Actually yesterday morning the Red Cross was there with Coffee and Hot Chocolate (which was really nice). But today they were only at the Brooklyn Bridge. I guess they figured Brooklyn was more important. ;-)
Actually they might like it. There is enough garbage on those tracks for them to last a year.
"....could result in jail time......we would hope so...in Gitmo to never be heard from again."
Amen...let's enforce provisions agains terrorism. You take an organization like the TWU...their people are very well paid and have greater benefits than those in the private sector, given a fair comparison as to skill and educational requirements. Essentail services strike and you have a major metroplex shut down. It was tough to get around on 9/11 (I was right there). The logistics here are somewhat comparable. The union needs to be punished, severely. I'm not complaining vis-a-vis my own planning, but most of us don't have the benefits that these people have. This union needs to be busted and put out of business and their so called leadership, jailed for a lengthy period of time. This could be argued as constituting terrorism. You do not cripple a major city like New York. These Moth..Fuc..s are criminals.
if a warrant for his arrest is issued - it will be enforced.

:-) Lets call?
From what I've been reading about this Toussaint (sp?) clown, he may be banking on just that, having the NYPD slap the steel to him and haul him away on national TV. That makes him a media hero, rallies the union troops, maybe even gets the national unions and the Dim party to publicly support him and his strike.
Well, you're definitely a better judge of that than I am from down here in Florida. But I've seen a poll and some other stories posted here to the effect that a majority of NYers are siding with the union so far. Even if the polls are garbage (color me unsurprised if that's the case), chances are those and the NYT and network pro-union propaganda pieces are the only information that these goons are getting. These guys may well think they're winning the hearts and minds even while most people in NY would rather string them up from a convenient lamppost.
