Strike Update
One of y favorites:
You guys really have a lot of balls. All you do is drive around in circles. Your job isn't hard at all.
It really doesn't surprise me that they are on strike though...When you add together the ineptitude of the MTA (disclosing that they have a mountain of cash surplus right BEFORE the negotiations) and a Haitian dude with a French last name leading the union, it simply isn't a shock. Come on, what do you really expect?!? With a last name like "Toussant" its really no wonder that the lazy bastard wants to strike...Even though Haiti hasn't been a French colony for ages now, the lazy-ass French mentality certainly has fully ingrained itself into the TWU's brilliant leader!
One of my favorites from today:
It's dem hard workin' SOBs napping on the job. WTF!
Somehow I just wish the MTA would just do a Wal-Mart on these asses and fire them all and bring in private workers. I'd be willing to bet those crazy Chinese Chinatown to Chinatown bus drivers would love a crack at driving a bigger rig like the number 4 train...Yea-hah! Speaking of Chinese dudes, I was down in Chinatown this weekend and this blue collar dude with a big time NY accent marveled "they turned a fuckin' hot dog stand into something amazing. They even have eggrolls and shit!"
