NYC Transit Strike

[cormacobear]

Time to send some letters of solidarity. These workers have had their right to strike stolen from them with the imposing of two days wages in fines for each day they strike.

Public sector strikes are banned? Thats fucking disgusting.
Solidarity strike action needs to be taken over that, but with the state of the US unions, and as its probably illegal too, its unlikely to happen.
The public sector is probably the most militant sector at the moment in the UK - public sector workers are capable of a lot.
