Haven't seen a labor action like this for a long, long time:
Subways and buses ground to a halt Tuesday morning as transit workers walked off the job at the height of the holiday shopping and tourist season, threatening to plunge the city into chaos by forcing about 7 million daily riders to find new ways to get around.The Metropolitan Transit Authority has a billion dollar surplus. That should have made negotiating go a lot more smoothly. Pataki's playing hardball to build his political profile. He wants to be your President.
