Thoughts/feelings on the TWU strike
You cannot CRIMINALIZE organized labor! It is our right as human beings to organize and strike if necessary. Laws were created to prevent the association of slaves in groups because slave owners feared the potential of their organized labor. This "Taylor Law" is itself illegal and immoral.
As I see it, the hardline by the MTA, the Governor, and Mayor Bloomberg is to try not only to break the TWU, but TO BREAK THE ORGANIZED LABOR MOVEMENT! This is the bigger picture. In a sense, to support the TWU is to support human rights and organized labor world-wide. Millions of eyes are watching this outcome. Pro-labor = Pro-people.
And for those haters out there who say "If I can't retire until I'm 62, then they shouldn't be able to either", go ahead and collect your slave wages along with your social security check.

Vox normally I don't disagree with you but, in the case, well. I think that both the MTA and the TWU are being selfish and unreasonable. In this day and age there should be no sticking because people should be able to resolve their conclicts by discussing them. This strike is a low blow for the city and the commuters. The TWU is not hurting who they actually set out to hurt.
