This is really weird.
They might put the Union leaders in jail for striking if they refuse to go back to work.
ISn't that the whole idea behind a strike? To stop working so you get what you feel you deserve? I read the article and the only quasi-legal basis they have is this:
Michael A. Cardozo, New York City's corporation counsel, asked the judge to issue an order directing union members to return to work. If the order is granted, Cardozo said, the city could ask for $25,000-a-day fines per worker — a punishment that goes beyond the docked-pay penalty that workers already are experiencing for the illegal strike.
"We're doing everything possible to make the union obey the law," he said, adding that union members need to "realize the economic consequences of their actions."
Economic consequences of their actions? Are you kidding me?
Why do I always ask so many more questions than I answer on this blog?
