The union isn't winning any friends. 33,000 transit workers are holding up 7 million commuters. The city is losing an estimated $400 million a day during the strike. An estimated 1/3 of all city shopping is usually done this week.

To put things in perspective the average subway or bus worker earns $63,000 per year. The strike is over the terms of the pension and whether or not union workers will continue to be able to retire on full pension at 55 years old.
Well F that then... For everything good about unions, there is equal amount of bad parts to them.

If its true as you say, these selfish pricks can pay. Some workers are oblivious to it though, when they start a new job they are told that a union is the best way to go.

I have never been a part of a union and don't plan on it anytime soon.


I voted against the theocratic psychopaths
