Reply #22: I never said it wasn't, nor did I say that Spitzer didn't go to court...

Of course, I've never been one who's entirely convinced that the "right" thing to do is always in keeping with the law. The TWU made their decision KNOWING that they would be breaking the law, and that there would be some kind of sanction against them. That being said, I don't think that any of us here know ALL of the facts, but I also think it's pretty safe to say that the TWU wouldn't have taken this step -- the first transit strike in 25 years -- unless they felt their bargaining ability was being seriously threatened by the MTA.
