I'm really getting tired of this crap...

70 in TWU may get 2G for job they didn't do
1st sentence:
"The Transit Authority is on track to pay thousands of dollars to a group of transit workers - for doing nothing, the Daily News has learned."

The outrage!! Those damn hourly-waged, uppitty union workers are trying to make my life miserable!!

But wait...as you read further into the story:
"The unexpected payday,...stems from an arbitrator's ruling that the TA be penalized for violating its contract with Transport Workers Union Local 100 (emphasis added by Vox)."
"The contract, signed years ago, mandated certain tasks be done by the agency's unionized workforce (emphasis added by Vox). But the TA hired a private company to build subway switching equipment that TWU members had been building for decades, the arbitrator ruled."

Wait a sec. This whole situation was caused BECAUSE THE TRANSIT AUTHORITY VIOLATED THE CONTRACT!

Point is, recognize that there has been an effort by the politically-controlled corporate media to bias people's opinion against the union by constantly portraying them negatively. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE.

What's next? "TWU responsible for Global Warming", or "TWU-Al Queda connection proven: Osama bin Laden seen cleaning the 4 train". You get the idea.
