Not only that but the president of the union could see jail time. If you ask me, they should all be fired. They were being offered a really great deal by the MTA:
- A 3 year raise package. 3.5% the first year, 4% the second year and 3.5% the third year.
- Health insurance would be raised. They would go from paying zero to 1% of their salary.
Doesn't seem like a bad deal to me. They chose to go on strike.
