As you may or may not have heard, the MTA union has chosen to strike in New York City. Of course, as a scooterist this does not effect me. In fact, today is one of those days scooterists can really shine. For more on that check out my coverage of the strike with comments from NYC scooterists here on Vespaway. Aside from that, I do have a few choice words on the matter:

Shame on the union. They ought to have a conversation with the majority of the United States labor force that has no job security and no pension. Pension have been all but discontinued in every company in the United States because they caost companies too much money. So now, you and I, the taxpayers, get to pay a pension for a special class of people who think THEY are still entitled to it in city state and federal government. It is one thing to promise a firefighter or police officer who risks his or her life every day a pension and retirement, but it just does not make sense for people who operate trains.

This union should be BUSTED, as most unions should. If these people don’t like the pay they get on their job, then they ought to go find a new job like I have to when I want more money than my employer offers.

The union has become nothing more than the protector for the lazy, shiftless, selfish worker.

If I were the MTA, I would inform the union that for every day they strike they will LOSE x amount of benefits. Lets see how long they strike then. After a week of striking maybe the MTA will double their surpplus!
