It's costing a loss of $400 million a day in lost business $$$ to NYC. I predict the union will not pay the fine,,,,negotiate it down,,,,will have their way and win at the table. usually wrong, never in doubt |

I predict they will "double or nothing" on "3 card monte" to settle the fine. |

Just heard on the news that a NYC bus driver makes $60,000 a year.  I will post my new address as soon as I get settled. |

Everyone in New York just put "bicycle" on their Christmas list. |

I would bet with the cost of living in NYC, $ 60,000 is not all that good and I would believe you would not have a lot of GOOD days, no matter which route you drove. I wouldn't want to do it for $ 60,000. Course, I don't want to work, period. |

NYC also banned cars with less than four people until the strike is over. I see a law suit coming from the sports car driving lawyers! |

This has made getting into and around the city even more of a nightmare. They are going back to work now with service starting overnight. Everything is supposed to be back to normal by tomorrow afternoon. Here's hoping... |

Now I'm really baffled. They are striking because the employee contribution to their pension is being raised from 2% to 6%, FOR NEW HIRES ONLY! Are these people nuts. They just lost 6 days pay for something that will never effect them directly or indirectly. How dumb! |
