Good for the TWU. There was no reason for them to accept a contract that was no different than what the MTA offered before the strike.
More than anything else, this is a thorough repudiation of the union's own leadership. I'm thinking that by next summer Roger Toussaint is going to be living in Trinidad, Haiti, New Orleans, or wherever the hell he came from.

Very dumb move. The contract they accepted was decent.

Screw New Yorkers. They vote for all this left wing crap, let them suffer at the hands of a left wing union.

Ask Star Jones, earlier today she said President Bush and OBL were having a ego contest, so I'm sure she would say there isn't a problem with any contract.....

Hey, this is N.Y. supporter of unions and liberals and democrats.
They kind folks of gotham will support these miscreants who are only trying to shake the city down for a kings ransom, as if they already didn't get one compared to everyday folks there.
Here in the south we really don't care if N.Y. gets tied up in knots.
