Pink Slips for the Holidays

I think every worker who walked out of their jobs as New York City transit workers should get a stocking filled with pink slips.


More and more Americans are fed up with the shenanigans of unions. While most every non-union American has to pay portions of their health insurance and/or not get the generous raises they demand.

"Enough is enough," said Craig DeRosa, who relies on the subway to get to work. "Their benefits are as rich as you see anywhere in this country and they are still complaining. I don't get it."

In Queens, Brunilda Ayala said she had no sympathy for the union after the bus strike began in her neighborhood.

"How can you give a raise to a bus driver who would make three old ladies walk home in the cold?" asked Ayala, 57.

The strike is New York's citywide mass transit walkout first since an 11-day strike in 1980.

And I would also like to add that this strike is illegal.

It is illegal for mass transit workers to strike in New York, which means the 33,000 bus and subway employees will incur huge fines — two days' pay for each day on strike.

Fucke 'em
