As others have said they're being way overpaid already. They don't strike because they're being mistreated in any way. I find all their demands absolutely unreasonable and a tactic to get them pushed through by shutting down public transportation in New York nothing less than criminal.

Isn't it strange how many people, both union and non-union workers work without collective bargaining contracts and still get paid and receive benefits?

These arguments are retarded. No one has to work for less then fair pay. If they were getting paid less then they were worth they would quit and work somewhere else. Unions may have had a place when it was hard to move and single companies employed entire towns but now they just cause structural ineffeciencies and benefit no one in the long term.

Try telling that to the union bosses. They get plenty of benefit from unions.
