Get ready to start walking again New York.
The city’s union transit workers, one month to
the day after they stranded 7 million riders with a crippling three-day
strike, have rejected their new three-year contract.The deal was
rejected by a margin of seven votes during two and a half days of
online and telephone voting. Their union had reached an agreement with
the MTA on December 22, 2005, after a strike that lasted three days.

Get ready for some more whiners who can’t handle their working classes getting a decent pay package (although it baffles me that they didn’t accept the contract).

How is it whiny to complain about people who shut down the city for three days stranding millions of real working class people? It’s important to remember they already have a decent wage with free health benefits and early retirement (age 55, which the union is trying to push to 50). Where do you find that among ordinary working folks?
