At issue, is why the government has the right to crack down. What are they cracking down on?

They are cracking down on people who are breaking the law. Are you saying that the government does not have the right to enforce the law?

It is illegal for public workers to strike in New York. Those people knew that when they were hired. In accepting the job, they agreed to not strike. They are breaking that agreement, and they are breaking the law.

There is no evidence that the company (MTA) failed to uphold their end of the agreement. The workers were paid the wages and benefits as agreed to. Now the workers are not upholding their end of the agreement. And they are breaking the law, and screwing over millions of their fellow citizens who have been paying their wages.
