ITS OVER!!!

It’s official; the TWU has voted 36-5 to return to work and is urging all TWU workers to do so.

I would like to congratulate all New Yorkers for sticking it out and showing the TWU that a strike wouldn’t get them what they wanted. The TWU has caved and is going back to work so they can start negotiations again.

Most importantly though I want to give a thumbs up to Governor Pataki for setting the precedent for future labor negotiations that you can’t “walk and talk at the same time”.
