I don't know the issues in NYC, but if it's anything like Auckland, our Transit workers are notoriously underpaid and scandalously treated by Management, doing a jolly dangerous hi-stress job for no thanks at all.
If it's at all like that in NYC, then I'd be in full support the strike.
But, like I said, I don't know the situation in New York. Maybe it's a safer place than Auckland.

I hate the litigious route, but why not sue? Illegal strike led to losses and death.

I keep hearing that the strike was illegal. I hadn't followed this very close.
Can someone explain?
Apart from that, if there was any greed or negligence in business, pre-union days, the pendulum has fully swung the other direction.

The widow should sue the union for 1 Billion. Heck getting hot coffee spilt on you these days gets you millions.

This is terrible news, but the NY Post goes a little far in blaming the transit union for this accident. The real culprit here is a bus driver who broke the law and struck the bicyclist, with the union's responsibility being tangential at best.
On a side note . . . I can't confirm this (and it may be in the story if someone wants to register for the NY Post to read the entire article), but I thought I heard on the radio yesterday that the victim here is the son of New York Conservative Party chairman Mike Long.

Unions = left. Don't expect politicians to criticize the union.

Say what you want...in just 3 days, the union got more than it was offered after months of fruitless talks.
