Re: Walking the Picket Line
The conditions of being a cop and being a transit worker are totally different. Do daredevils have bad working conditions, yes. Is a comparison between a daredevil and a coal miner remotely useful, no. The only useful metric in this situation would be seeing what other workers in other cities are paid for similair work, then adjust it for cost of living in NYC.
Despite your dislike of the term scab there is really no refutation of the logic here. If union demands are unreasonable they will be replaced. If they are really paid rediculous amounts then the line for new applicants will go around the block. That's how you break a strike and a union. It works, people have done it before.
