NY Transit Strike

Nice work, Bloomberg, Pataki and Bushies.

You've consistently made any action by any unions punishable. This one involves the breaking of a union by trying to create a two-tier system that would have long-time workers covered by one set of rules and rights and the more junior workers covered by very little at all. And when they say no to union breaking, you call them "terrorists" and people "ready to harm Americans, starting with New Yorkers".

Very nice.

I'm not a big union lover, but I'm sick and tired of contracts being broken by corporations right and left and all rights and responsibilities employers should follow instead being taken from the American worker. If you happen to think this can't hurt you or someone you care about, I'm afraid to say you may be quite mistaken.
