nyc - can you explain how you calculated the figure of 26% for the wage increase the twu are demanding please.
on its own, a 26% rise in pay is ridiculous but it is not an isolated demand for a rise in pay and i think that oversimplification of the issues is not really that helpful to the discussion.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

A WNBC/Marist poll on Wednesday showed 55 percent of New Yorkers opposed the strike and 38 percent backed it.
One Manhattan restaurant, the Russian Samovar, said it had filed a lawsuit against the union, the MTA, the city and the mayor on behalf of itself and other businesses seeking $250 million in compensation for lost business due to the strike.

the contract is a side issue?
i think not mike - without the contract dispute, there would be no strike - its ALL about the contracts.

The difference is that the union boss wanted his 15 minutes of fame, wanted to get everyone riled up, and make a statement. [...] So it's all about the strike because the contract got nowhere and the strike didn't hit the people on the other side of the table at all. It hit us and only us, and we've got nothing to do with it. [...] Tell me, Cole, should the police be able to go on strike? The city could continue to function far better without them than without transport. At least for a few days.

Disagreed - even though you're a union member.
Working conditions for doctors in Germany have improved by 1.000.000% since they went on strike and were sueing the hospitals for better working conditions.
