20. The offer to the union was a fair one -
I don't believe they should be going on strike this time (I did support the last time which was about 15+ years ago I beleive in NYC). I personally do not know anyone that can retire at 55 with full a full pension and pay $0 for their health insurance.

On a separate question - what does it mean that its 'illegal to go on strike'. Is a fine the worst thing that could happen for the innocent workers? As long as they can't be fired by the MTA, I can see why they would go on stike for a day or so in order to get a deal. Good luck to them & hope it ends here soon!!!
