This just in from the transit union:
"New York transit workers will gather Thursday outside the home of MTA Board Member (and former Teamsters official) Barry Feinstein to hold an informational picket from 6:30-8:30 am. The leaflets will protest the continued inaction by Feinstein and the rest of the MTA Board on the contract that the MTA and TWU Local 100 agreed upon in December. Feinstein personally called for a second vote on the contract, which the TWU subsequently held. Now, he has flip-flopped on the issue, turning his back on New York’s 34,000 transit workers despite his labor past."
Feinstein lives in White Plains.

The transit workers "should" have taken and voted for the origianl deal/offer. As civil servants they have a nerve to now want to picket someones home..The onus is on them -they blew it...they had their chance and they voted down the original contract offer--toooooo bad.those of us in the "Real" world know that you must and will start paying of your health insurance..There are far too many people working who make us have to pay..they are ill and they burden the insurance industry..The MTa workers(not all) up on my line the #3 act as if they are doing us a favor by showing up
