Bloomberg pretty much responds to the PATCO solution here:
Bloomberg, who isn’t directly involved in the
strike talks, said he didn’t think putting union leaders in jail
was appropriate.
“The fines are what is going to hurt,” he said. “Fines don’t
make you a martyr and fines you don’t get back.”
I just loved Toussaint’s response to being called a “thug”:
“We wake up at 3 and 4 in the morning to move the
trains in this town,” Toussaint said. “That’s not the behavior of
thugs and selfish people.”
So do you mean to say that when you stop doing that, then you do become thugs and selfish people? Thank you for clarifying the point, Thuggy McThugThug.
