Notice the picket sign: "Not Going Our Way." It's meant to be a sarcastic variation on a transit system advertising slogan. But it could turn out to be an unintentional admission of how things are going for the union!

You have no idea what you're talking about.
Fox & Friends is giving a free ride on a double-decker bus for anyone.

I dont think so. I'm not a New Yawker, but I have taken numerous trip to Manhattan - and I am quite impressed concerning their public transit system - especially their rail lines.
Channel Five news last night (I think it was 5, a ten pm broadcast anyway, so the local news) said "illegal" pretty much every time they said the word "strike". It was like, enough already, we get it, it's illegal!
Bloomberg should start firing those who it will be easiest to replace. Today. And keep moving up the line to the highest skilled workers. I doubt the token sellers will risk losing their jobs in order to help the motor men. Spread class warfare throughout their ranks, that would be my plan.
The Taylor Law has been on the books for decades and its constitutionality has never been successfully challenged. What is your source or basis for arguing that it is?
What prevents an employer from saying to employees: "I'm willing to offer you these wages and benefits in return for your agreement not to strike"?
Are laws prohibiting members of the armed forces from striking unconstitutional too?
Did you see it???
People are breaking the law. Arrest them or fire them. What's so hard about that, Katie?
After the public airing of Bloomberg walking across the Brooklyn Bridge to go to work in city hall, I was told by a reliable source that Bloomberg actually lives in Manhattan.
Is that the case? Was this just another publicity stunt on Bloomberg's part?
Responding to a question about how the strike could turn tourists (and their money) away from NYC, Bloomberg chuckled nervously. He said that the strike was making things a bit difficult, but "it's exciting!"
The CBS anchor said: "'Exciting'? That's an interesting word."
Perhaps its simply an undocumented strike.........
Yes, Bloomberg lives in Manhattan, so he wasn't really walking to work. So while in a sense this was a publicity stunt, I cut Bloomberg slack in this situation. It was basically a way of showing solidarity with commuters and defiance to the union.
The Unions want Higher wages and Earlier retirement.
No Problem Fire them today and let them look for higher paying Jobs.
Replace them with non union employees and treat them fairly.
No. Can't hear the tv from the computer room.
A contract is a contract.
These people are breaking the law. And to top it off - it's for more pay than there is money to pay them...
This strike represents the #1 reason Unions have become obsolite and bad four our country.
DingDingDing!!
Comment 'o the Day Award Winner!
Yeah. I wasnt intending to give Bloomberg a hard time on taking the walk, either. At least he hasnt caved in to the union, yet. Just found it interesting if that was the case.
The last time a strike was threatened, Bloomberg bought a bicycle to ride to City Hall in the event of a strike. It's a little too cold for that now.
It's my understanding that he has homes in both boroughs. Either way, I think it was for the cameras.
