The big deal right now in NYC is whether or not the union of mass transit workers is going to strike.
There was a time in this country when unions were highly respected and business managers understood that they had to pay their employees a reasonable and fair wage for their services, or suffer the consequences. But that was during the time of segregated bathrooms, so who wants to go backwards?
The truth is this: The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is comprised of nearly 60% African American employees. In a city where Blacks are a little over 30% of the population that sounds like progress to me.
If these MTA folks are so hard up for money, they should just throw one of those BYOB house parties that you have to pay a $5 cover to get into. MTA worker BYOB parties are guaranteed hook-up joints. I can’t tell you how many high school dropout transit workers I have have smashed over the years.
Yeah y’all, them transit workers get it crunk. They don’t just need raises, they need a carton of condoms and a case of K-Y jelly. C’mon Governor PATAKI, show the brothers a little love.
