Weren’t their actions a violation of the contract, thereby voiding said contract?

Speaking of contracts, are there public safety clauses in union contracts to prevent members from sticking it to the public?

If not, there bloody well should be.

Then again if there are, I wonder if that's why the mayor's office waited so long to declare an emergency, because the union would then be prohibited from any work slowdown due to the change in status?

Anyone know?

Oh HAHAHAHAHA! (As Cindy Adams would write)...
It would go to a hearing before an “Administrative Law Judge” the same kind that are on orders from the Commissioner of Labor to find ways to pay UI recipients who have been disqualified....Talk to some employers that have had THAT happen to them in the past 3 years...
