Court Fines NYC Transit Strikers $1M a Day
Strike Strands Commuters, State Supreme Court Levels Million-Dollar-A-Day Fine Against Union
NEW YORK Dec 20, 2005 — The nation's largest mass transit system endured its first strike in a quarter-century Tuesday, stranding 7 million riders in the December cold as negotiations remained stalled and a Brooklyn judge imposed a $1 million a day fine on the striking union.
State Supreme Court Justice Theodore Jones leveled the sanction against the Transport Workers Union for violating state law by going on strike. Attorneys for the city and state had asked Jones to hit the union with a "very potent fine" for ignoring the Taylor Law. |
