Toussaint: mayor's language is the problem: lack of respect for workers
How dares he call us thugs and selfish - we were 60% of the emergency responders on 911, blackout. How is a billionaire calling us selfish?
MTA sprung on them a new pension cut in the last moment - illegal. That's the sticking point.

1. The more you learn, the more you support the strike
The media only show pampered upper class twits complaining about the terrible inconvenience of getting off their privileged asses and walking four blocks to the market instead of having the limo stuck in gridlock traffic.

Poor babies.

It's too bad the corrupt and right wing, corporatist media aren't telling us the whole story. But then, they have never run a truly prolabor story that I've ever known about.

2. Even so, the truth still outs - even in their skewed coverage
You see lots of people saying they support the union - and Bloomberg was so repulsive yesterday that the only favor they can do him is cover him less!
Did you get his "At no time in the City's history did anyone try to hurt NY-ers so hard" Geez, with all his buddy's W non-stop "911" you'd think Bloomberg can come up with an example!
