3. I'm also 100% with the union, but having experienced a transit
strike, I can also sympthise with people who have to walk or bike long distances to work versus sit in gridlock traffic for hours to get there, with retailers who aren't making sales this season (and retailers rely on them to tide them over the rest of the year) and I'm also in sympathy with the strikers who are not going to get paychecks this time of year.

It's a terrible situation for everybody but Bloomberg, who looks like he's enjoying waving his dick around, and the MTA board, men who get to look like tough businessmen when they're a bunch of corrupt sleazeballs who have lined their pockets for decades on the backs of the workers.

Know who the bad guys really are in this situation. You can still sympathise with all the people caught in the middle.
