Anthony said the traffic in Brooklyn is SICK. He's a chauffeur. This could mean longer response times which could mean peoples lives! I hope these people are fined big time!

Well my Fh works for transit and by you saying you hope they get fined big time will be hurting my family. As of now he loses 2 days pay for every 1 day they're on strike not to mention the actual day that they strike which adss up to 3days pay everyday.

I'm sorry it will hurt you financially. The strike is also hurting many people in many different ways and I'm sure you and your family have nothing to do with it. I'm sure all involved wish it would be over soon. Does your DH have the option to work himself?

I am sorry for the financial hardship this is causing your family, but they shouldn't have striked. It is illegal and they knew the consequences when they chose to walk.

i wouldn't blame the individual workers. they don't choose to strike, the union voted on that.

I agree. I think if I was them I'd be really POed at my employer, who chose to strike. They are losing $$ because of them!

It wasn't the employees choice to walk , the president couldn't agree with the MTA so it was his cabinet that voted not the thousands of workers. Do you honestly think that the majority of these people want to loose that much money?? I know I don't especilly since it's close to the holidays.

I am not blaming individual workers (sorry if my post gave that impression), but the union is made up of the workers. They voted to strike or chose the people in power who chose to strike. I believe in what they are fighting for, but I think they should have kept working (even without a contract) until they reached an agreement. I don't think the millions of dollars this will cost was worth it. Hopefully, that is the least of it - no ambulance or fire fighter hassels, etc.

I know its hard on us when they stike but we must take into consideration the transit workers they have a cause and we should respect and support their cause.

and to clarify when I meant fined.. I meant fine the idiot who made the decision to break the law and strike.. Not the individual workers.

I agree... it is the union who should be held responsible, not the individual employees. Unfortunately, thats the way a union works. Yea you elect them, but you are giving them alll the say! You would think in something as important as this they would have a union-wide vote, not just the members of the board.
