Somebody started a TWU Local 100 Blog, and enabled comments! Unbridled public outrage at the striking union ensues:

You guys really have a lot of balls. All you do is drive around in circles. Your job isn’t hard at all. You get paid as much as cops and firemen, while much more as teachers. Something is wrong.

. . .

Everybody will know in a few hours what you actually make. And what you make is a lot comparing to majority of New Yorkers. Your strike is hurting financially the people with daily wages, people who usually have no medical insurance, no pension plans, who usually have to take mass transit because they don’t make enough money to afford anything else (and who definitely make less then TWU workers). Luckily, some of them are making your sandwiches. So, I am hoping the TWU strikers will find some spit in theirs and some piss in the beer they drink between picketing duty.

. . .

FUCK THE TWU, MAY YOU SUFFER ON CHRISTMAS!

. . .

I hope that Roger and his friends go to jail for a year and rack up so many penalties that the union itself is thrown into bankruptcy and the members are personally responsible for their penalties essentially cutting their pay by up to 35% per paycheck that gets paid back to the city. Plus, the pension fund will dry up and all those retireies who thought they had the good life go on welfare. I hope that’s what happens.

To be fair, there are some that say something along the lines of, “I’m proud of all of you that you are standing up for yourselves, your families and the rights of all workers to achieve a secure, middle class standard of living,” but those tend to be outnumbered by comments such as, “I hope Mayor bloomberg has you all arrested and you get AIDS in prison from being gang raped.” Who knows if the comments will stay up, but there they are.
