Default Re: NYC Transit Strike: TWU declares series of strikes

in NYS and NYC Muni workers can't strike under the taylor , which is a load of crap. Taking away the right/ability to strike is taking a weapon out of the Union Arsenal. However when they do strike, threaten, or walk out part of the negotations is they drop all fines/charges etc against the Unions "usually". IE you cant arrest the entire brotherhood if you sent the president to Jail it only make union stronger/fight more.

Its a huge cat and mouse game.

However in the EU they strike for 10 minutes or do a work "slow down" for a day and they get what they want.
