As Good as it Gets - NJ Side of the MTA Transit Strike

At least New Jersey has the edge in the NYC MTA/TWU ILLEGAL transit strike. That is, as long as we want to get into Manhattan (Midtown or Lower), not one of the other boroughs or Uptown. PATH (NY/NJ Port Authority) trains are running to lower Manhattan; NJ Transit commuter trains are running into and out of Penn Station.

I feel sorry for the transit workers -- Toussaint is leading them to ruin! At this time I feel every fine the state can throw at the union is justifiable. While I tend to sympathize with the plight of any worker, an illegal strike is not the way to go about things. One of the sticking points is the retirement plan for new workers. Hey, wake up! In this day and age, most private companies have no such plan -- it's all 401K, etc. You cannot expect the government employees to have such packages when they don't exist for anyone but them. Sheesh.

I hope the union goes bust, but it's a shame that the workers who have no choice but to abide by the union will be suffering. Get over it, Toussaint... and get the hell out of Dodge.
