Long Island Rail Road workers are threatening to walk off the job if they don't get a new contract and a big fat raise. I'd like to see them get jobs in the private sector and try this tactic.
I know little about unions and how railroads operate, but I really wish there was some competition. Seems to me that most everyone lives lean and a few fat cats get fatter.
Maybe it's more like the private sector than I thought.
