NYC Transit Union goes on strike

The Transport Workers Union went on strike today leaving 7million passengers to find alternative forms of transportation. Public employees are prohibited from striking in the state of New York. As a result a court has put the union in contempt of court and fining the union $1million per day. Workers can also be fined 2 days pay for every day that they are on strike. City officials say the strike could cost the city $400 million per day.
