Why didn’t Bush go all Taft-Hartley in NYC?
Honestly, when I heard that the MTA Union was really going to strike, I figured that the President would injunct the union from striking due to the problems that it would cause.
Taft-Hartley Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Considering the Dept. of Homeland Security would have an terrible time if someone blew up a bridge during the strike (since security was almost certainly lax during that time). Transit strikes also endanger a city because, should a crisis occur, the transportation system is not functional. Evacuation would be impossible.
He didn’t though, and I don’t even know if the white house has released a statement about it. I suspect they’re too wrapped up in the problems surrounding the leak of the massive and illegal surveillance program.
Too bad, they could have saved Bloomberg’s Christmas.
