Reply #10: I'm NOT with the TWU on this one

[BlueInPhilly]

C'mon, they make so much more money than a lot of NY workers, they get free transportation - that alone can amount to at least $100/mont- they don't pay towards their health insurance. I lived in NYC and if I were there, I'd be pissed. The strike is illegal, there is a law against it, they walked off their job anyway. Plain and simple. When I first saw Roger Doussant on TV, I told myself that he would not have the best interest of the workers or the commuters - I don't know, just a feeling, I guess. He seemed gung-ho from the beginning to go on strike. He and the MTA folks can have a pissing match, but in the end, the commuters who rely on the subway and buses are the ones who get squeezed in the middle.

Just my $0.02.
