12/20/2005: If Mayor Bloomberg has a pair, he’ll fire the transit workers. They are breaking the law; they are breaking the trust that they established with the city of New York.
In return for cashy, secure jobs, every transit worker agreed to a non-strike provision, just as the air traffic controllers had.
President Reagan rightly fired the striking ATCs. Bloomberg should tear a page from the Reagan playbook.
Civil servants have no business going on strike. If you don’t like that, then get another job.
