They'll think twice about striking again anytime soon...

A judge slapped the union with a $1 million-a-day fine.

Under the law, the union's 33,000 members will also lose two days' pay for every day they are on strike, and they could also be thrown in jail.

Its been a ***** for everyone in my area (Queens) to do anything productive. Those union f*cks deserve to get fired and have people who would appreciate their job and benefits replace them.

There is nothing more that I hate in America than Unions... They are the single most powerful reason why GM, Ford, American Air, Delta, etc. are all going down the toilet. Why should we have to pay 80+k a year for a crackhead to stand in an assembly line to build cars while he's drunk or high. I wish they'd fire every one of of these pieces of shit...or better yet make everyone work a 14 hour shift on Christmas & Eve and then again on New Year's Eve/Day. They should have to kiss all of NYC's *** on their ride to and from work.

I dont know wtf their problem is, theymake more than a teacher down here in FL. The cost of living there is higher sure, but even when you compare it to down here and their wages, they still make a hell of a lot more. But just to be fair, all teachers do is educate the youth of America

Then again if the manufacturers hadnt been greedy pieces of shit in the first place, unions would never have had to formed.....

Workers shouldnt have to be pushed around by big business.

That started so long ago though, we should have a better way to handle things by now. Just a thought.
