My understanding of it is that the strikers will be fined double the wages of the days they missed.
Personally, I think that's a pretty low thing to do. I'm all for everyone getting a fair shake, but as a person who's been to New York City, not having the subway system is a crippling blow. I hope it gets settled soon.
